Paruroctonus tulare is a species of scorpion in the genus Paruroctonus. It lives in the deserts of Northern and Southern California where it is found in several areas of the San Joaquin Valley. The species epithet tulare is in reference to the historically diverted Tulare Lake and associated basin around which the scorpion is now found.[1]
