Hey Guys,

So I found a scorpion in Oman the other day and am having a hard time finding out what exact species it is.

I believe it is a Nebo but am not sure whether it is a Nebo Omanesis, N. Hierichonticus or N. Grandis. They all look so similar....

Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I am not familiar with scorpions from Oman but if you still have it, take detailed picture of setae and carinae and compare it to the type description papers, that is the only good way to ID most scorpions.

Nebo grandis - from the Oman/Yemen border area.
