Androctonus australis and Leiurus quinquestriatus are at the top of the list as far as i know.

If you read the stickies at the top of the page, it is quite helpful.

edit: the lower the first number the more potent the venom is. In practice how many deaths are attributed to a species depends on factors besides just the LD50.

1-10 lists are for discovery channel specials and have little bearing on real life.
