Please help ID this scorpion

[Mamisha-X]

Found it in Benson AZ (south east). I usually find bark scorpions but this one is MUCH bigger!. I am guessing desert hairy but I am not a big scorpion person. it does have a few hairs on its tail and claws.

Striped devil scorpion I can't spell the scientific name
I usually just say v spin or hoffmanus spin
they are neat and like to burrow can be communal too


The one I had was much smaller than my AZ barks you might be finding juvies lol

These are the scorpions i have been told were bark scorpions. they all have black stripes on the tail.




here is another pic of the scorp in question. it is twice as long as the "bark scorp" and 3 times as wide

The specimen appears to be a female Hoffimannius spinigerus (=Vaejovis spinigerus), or at least a Vaejovis spp. The one with the black stripes could be an undescribed species, there are many of them, but it is similar in appearance to Vaejovis spp. as well...

dont think that is a bark scorpion
both seem to be the same, just ones a adult or something

the bark scorpions tails arent as 'thick' and AZ barks dont have stripes, at least none i can see

i have a colony of az barks and they dont look anything like those that you posted.

I had a hoffmanus/vaejovis and thats what yours looks like

They all look Vaejovis to me as well.
