Neobuthus amoudensis is a species of scorpion from the family Buthidae found in Somaliland and Ethiopia. It is named in honor of the Amoud University.[1]
Male specimens of N. amoudensis were collected and temporarily categorized as Neobuthus ferrugineus in 2012.[1] They were defined as a separate species once a larger number of samples could be collected between 2016–2018.
