Centruroides exilicauda the Baja California bark scorpion is a species of bark scorpion found in Baja California. It is closely related to the Arizona bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) but is not considered dangerous. Previously only distinguished by geographic range the two variants were classified in 1980 as the same species. Subsequently differences in venom toxicity were recorded and in 2004 DNA analysis showed them to be separate species.
