Diplocentridae is a family of scorpions. The roughly 120 species are mostly native to the New World, except for genus Nebo, which is distributed in the Middle East.Santibáñez-López, C. E.; Francke, O. F.; and Prendini, L. (2014). Kolotl, n. gen. (Scorpiones: Diplocentridae), a new scorpion genus from Mexico. American Museum Novitates 3815 1-28.
A 2003 study suggests that this family is better treated as a subfamily of the Scorpionidae.Soleglad, M. E., & Fet, V. 2003. High-level systematics and phylogeny of the extant scorpions (Scorpiones: Orthosterni). Euscorpius, 11 1-56.
