The lesser stripetail scorpion (Chihuahuanus coahuilae)[1] is a small (35-55mm) species of scorpion found in Mexico and the southwestern United States.

The lesser stripetail scorpion is generally found in Mexico and the U.S. states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

It lives in a variety of habitats and elevations, from desert flats to rolling grasslands to rocky slopes in mountains to about 7,000 feet (2,100 m) or more.

Sensitivity and pain can last from 15 to 30 minutes or occasionally longer, with no real medical side effects.

Minor swelling and edema can be experienced during that time period depending on severity of sting.
