Three species and two subspecies are synonymized: Rhopalurus amazonicus with R. laticauda, R. crassicauda with R. laticauda, R. acromelas with R. agamemnom, R. crassicauda paruensis with R. laticauda,R. pintoi kouruensis with R. pintoi. The genus present now seven valid species for South America. New data on distribution range and an identification key are presented. A comparative analysis of the morphology of male hemiespermatophore of 21 genera of the family Buthidae of Central and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The implications of these new data on the taxonomic organization of the family Buthidae are discussed. / O g?nero Rhopalurus ? revisado na Am?rica do Sul com base na morfologia externa e na morfologia do hemiespermat?foro dos machos.
