Best Answer

The scorpion doesn't have a family name because there are so many different types of scorpion worldwide that they need to have more than one family name. There are 1,300 species worldwide with 90 of those in the US alone (plus another about 30 that have yet to be described), 86 of which live west of the Mississippi River in the states of AZ, CA, NM, and TX. All these different species belong to not just one but five different families.

Overall, there are thirteen extant "families" and (at least) 1,400 "described species" of scorpions: see the Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
