Neobuthus erigavoensis is a species of scorpion from the family Buthidae found in Somaliland.
Specimens of N. erigavoensis may have been collected and temporarily categorized as Neobuthus ferrugineus since 2012.[1] They were defined as a separate species once a larger number of samples could be collected between 2016–2018. The species was named after its type location, which is near Erigavo city.[1]
