Hadogenes minor is the only
species in the Western Cape occurring in the Cedarberg. This scorpions future is
secure as most of the greater Cedarberg will soon be protected in a very
extensive conservancy streatching from the west coast to the Tankwa National
Park in the east and northwards to Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve at Nieuwoudtville
in the Northern Cape.
