Centruroides hentzi, the Hentz striped scorpion, is a species of bark scorpion in the family Buthidae. They are native to the southeastern United States including the states of Florida, southwestern Alabama, and in the coastal plain of Southern Georgia including surrounding barrier islands.[1] C. hentzi is present in other states such as North Carolina and South Carolina due to accidental human importations.[2]
In Florida, C. hentzi is sympatric with two other species of Centruroides: the Florida bark scorpion (C. gracilis) and the Guiana striped scorpion (C. guianensis).[2]
