While not much is known about the Seychelles forest scorpion's ecology due to the paucity of sightings, it is known to rely solely on its venom to capture its prey and defend its young.

Its entire known range is protected by Silhouette National Park, and recent conservation efforts on the island include vegetation restoration and the removal of cinnamon.

[4] The specific name braueri is in honor of August Brauer, a German zoologist who conducted scientific surveys in the Seychelles and who collected the initial specimens.

[5][6] The type specimen was collected from Praslin Island by August Brauer in 1894 and is held at the Zoological Institute and Museum of the University of Hamburg.

[6] Additionally, on both the movable and fixed fingers of the scorpion's pedipalps, or pincers, the sixth cutting edge lacks external and internal granules.

[6] Overall this scorpion is a blotched yellowish-brown in coloration with a smooth and glossy fifth metasomal segment and a notably long telson, or stinger.

[1] Historically this scorpion was endemic to the broader Seychelles, and was found on Mahé before invasive plants drove it to local extinction.

[3] The Seychelles forest scorpion was assessed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2012.

[1] It is currently known only from a small area of woodland on Silhouette Island that is being degraded by invasive plant species, notably Cinnamomum verum.
