Abstract
The study of a new species of Hadogenes Kraepelin, 1894, leads to the reana lysis of the taxonomic position of this genus, with the proposition of a ne w subfamily Hadogeninae subfam. n. The new subfamily is placed in the famil y Scorpionidae, with therefore the transfer of the genus Hadogenes from the Ischnuridae to the Scorpionidae. The new species Hadogenes angolensis sp. n. is described from Angola.
