description Vaejovis janssi Overview
Vaejovis janssi is a species of scorpion in the family Vaejovidae, endemic to Socorro Island in Mexico's Revillagigedo Islands. Stanley C. Williams described it in 1980 in a taxonomic work on scorpions from Baja California, Mexico, and nearby islands. The species is relevant to arachnologists and biodiversity researchers because its restricted island range makes it a record of Mexican scorpion taxonomy and island endemism.
