Also, I just noticed that Sharma et al., 2015 (
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4375871/) include Hadrurus in
fam. Caraboctonidae in their Figure 3 (presumably where Caraboctonus would
also reside). So you may need to do some additional sleuthing...
Caraboctonidae is a recognised family according to Mullen & Sissom, 2019 :(
https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-814043-7.00023-6)

quote: "The *Caraboctonidae* is a New World family with four genera and 32
species. The genera Caraboctonus (one species) and Hadruroides (22 species)
are found in western South America..."
