Hadogenes granulatus, the Mozambique Flat-Rock Scorpion is a large, highly specialised lithophilous scorpion native to southern Africa, with recorded populations in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia.


This species inhabits narrow fissures, fractured rock formations and spaces beneath weathered stone. Its exceptionally flattened body allows it to occupy crevices barely wider than its own body. sexual dimorphism becomes particularly pronounced at maturity. Adult males develop an elongated slender metasoma, often exceeding the combined length of the body. Females retain considerably shorter tails and broader body proportions.

The species is also notable for its relatively low venom and slow development with speciments living up to 30 years.
