Hormurus ochyroscapter is a species of scorpion in the Hormuridae family. It is native to Australia, where it occurs in north-eastern Queensland. It was first described in 2013.
The specific epithet ochyroscapter comes from the Greek ochyros (‘strong’) and skapter (‘digger’), with reference to the robust pincers of the species.[1]
