Apistobuthus is a genus of scorpions in the family Buthidae. It was described by Susan Finnegan in 1932 and was for a long time considered to be monotypic containing the single species A. pterygocercus. In 1998 a second species A. susanae was described by Wilson Lourenço; its specific epithet commemorates Susan Finnegan. A. susanae differs from A. pterygocercus in having stouter legs and pedipalps among other characters.
