Unknown scorp from Malaysia

[RyoKenzaki]

A friend of mine from Malaysia, Sabah, Kota Kinabalu tagged me these photo and asked for ID but i have no idea what is it, any idea guys?

Any chance its Isometrus zideki?

Hi, I can see only X and no pics

Just guessing, is it the black scorpion with reddish finger tips?

Looks like hotlinking from facebook wont work haha
Sorry for that i fixed it

Impossible to ID even to genus level. Isometrus lack tibial spurs on legpairs III and IV that Lychas have...I would have to look at it under the microscope to be able to ID it, but it is either a Lychas or Isometrus.
If it is I.zideki is not sure at all, but it is not I.maculatus............Tell your friend to send me some preserved ones....

Perhaps i can try to take a microscope picture, wait till i get one for myself and check the tibial spurs
I told him to go and find more and breed them so we can have more specimen to keep for ID-ing purpose
He found two so far, both looks like female if they are adult, finger crossed

Good idea, then we would know the genus....That's a good start....

Nice find and I hope you're able to ID it soon.

Congrats with the newborns, Ryokenzaki! I hope you breed a whole colony of these, so you can send me an adult pair in the future for identification

1st glance, it look like a lychas sp. to me.. hehe I have high hopes for the identification of your specimen. Congratulations by the way.
