Vaejovis brysoni is a species of scorpions belonging to the family Vaejovidae discovered in 2013 in the Santa Catalina Mountains of southern Arizona.

[1] It was reportedly discovered in an area that overlooks the city of Tucson by Robert W. Bryson Jr., after whom the species is named.

It is related to other creatures in the same genus and/or family such as the Vaejovis janssi, Hoffmannius spinigerus and H. coahuilae.

Another scorpion of the same genus, Vaejovis deboerae, inhabits this mountain range creating the peculiar situation where two members of the vorhiesi species have been found inhabiting the same area, and this due to the isolation each mountain, even within the same range, provides.

"This latest new scorpion is a prime example of the amazing diversity of life still to be discovered, right here in 21st century America," adds Richard F. Ayrey, one of the co-authors of the original paper published in the science journal ZooKeys.
