The states of Guerrero and Michoacan have the highest richness with 24 and 23 species respectively. Twelve species of thegenus Centruroides are of medical importance because morbidity and mortality recorded by the Secretaría de Salud. Guerrero and Michoacanhave five species of medical importance, representing the greatest number within the states included in this contribution. Scorpionism in thisregion is relevant due to the number of species of medical importance and the high incidence and mortality occurring yet. By grouping specieswe can distinguish three zones of scorpion fauna affinity according to Jaccard Index.
