Isometroides angusticaudus, also known as the slender spider-hunting scorpion, is a species of scorpion in the Buthidae family. It is native to Australia, and was first described by German arachnologist Eugen von Keyserling in 1885.
This species grows to about 30 mm in length, smaller than the otherwise very similar I. vescus, with which it was once synonymised.[2]
