HOLOTYPE : M (CAS, Type No. 10413), 34.4 km W Ciudad Constitución (= El Crucero), Baja California Sur, México.Original description: Vejovis diazi Williams, 1970b: 307-313, fig. 19-20: Subsequent Accounts: Williams, 1970f: 415 (Vaejovis diazi diazi): Williams, 1980: 59-60, fig. 55A, 61, 62 (Vaejovis diazi diazi): Vaejovis diazi diazi Williams (Figures 55A, 61,62) Vejovis diazi Williams, 1970:307-313. Diagnosis.—Essentially identical in structure, size, and coloration to Vaejovis diazi transmontanus but differs as follows: reddish telson which contrasts with yellow metasomal segments. Type Data.—Vejovis diazi, holotype (male), allotype: CAS, Type No. 10413; 34.4 km W El Crucero, 26-VII-1968. S. C. Williams, M. A. Cazier. Distribution.—San Ignacio south to Todos Santos and Las Cruces, and following islands: San Jose, Partida, Espiritu Santo, San Francisco. Sissom, 2000:531-532 (Vaejovis diazi diazi): Distribution: Sissom web: NORTH AMERICA. México (Baja California Sur). Published Records: Paratypes: 10M, 10F (CAS; including F allotype), same locality as holotype; 568M, 826F(CAS), numerous localities in Baja California Sur, México.

Bentzien): 42 km N Todos Santos. 4-V-1969 (Williams). Notes: In the type locality, on the Magdalena Plain this species lived in relatively flat, rock-free terrain. The soils here were fine-textured, moderately packed sediment. In other parts of the geographie range, this species was found in predominantly rocky, volcanic habitats with loosely paeked soils. Three morphological characters tended to vary over the geographic range: telson hirsuteness, body size, and emphasis of underlying dark pigment on the earapace and mesosomal dorsum. This is one of the most commonly encountered seorpions throughout much of its range.In the type locality, on the Magdalena Plain this spee ies lived in relatively flat, rock-free terrain.
