Mastigoproctus tohono, also known as the Tohono whipscorpion or Tohono vinegaroon, is a species of whip scorpions in the family Uropygi. Its native range is from northern Sonora in Mexico to southern Arizona and western New Mexico, with most sightings occurring in the Chiricahua and Huachuca Mountains of Cochise County, Arizona. [1]
When the name Uropygi is used for the whip scorpions, the clade containing Uropygi and Schizomida may be called Thelyphonida, [9] or Thelyphonida s.l. Conversely, when the name Thelyphonida is used for the whip scorpions alone, the parent clade may be called Uropygi, [10] or Uropygi sensu lato. The table below summarizes the two usages.

Mastigoproctus is a genus of whip scorpions. Native to the tropical forest regions of northern South America, these whip scorpions can reach a length of up to 9 centimetres (3.5 in) and can weigh over 30 grams (1.1 oz). Despite popular belief, they are not venomous as, like all other whip scorpions, they do not possess venom glands.
Mastigoproctus colombianus range from 45 to 65 millimetres (1.8 to 2.6 in) in length. Color brown and red-end legs. Like the related orders Schizomida, Amblypygi and Solifugae, uropygids use only six legs for walking, having modified their first two legs to serve as antennae-like sensory organs.
