Uroplectes otjimbinguensis is a species of scorpion in the family Buthidae, endemic to Angola and Namibia.

[1] This species was originally described by Ferdinand Karsch as Lepreus otjimbinguensis in 1879 based on specimens collected near Otjimbingwe, a settlement in Namibia.

[2] U. otjimbinguensis inhabits woody vegetation growing in arid regions, taking shelter under peeling bark and in the holes of tree trunks.

)[1] Like most scorpions, U. otjimbinguensis possesses venom consisting of a cocktail of protein, peptides and other molecules used to subdue prey and defend itself against predators.

Additionally, the study found that Angolan U. otjimbinguensis venom strongly diverged from that of Namibian specimens, possibly due to geographic separation caused by the Kunene River.
