it has a basal lobe-notch combination in the chelal fingers, so it is a male. If you don't tell us the place that this scorpion was found, we can't help you as much as we would......

Why is that? Can you elaborate?

Because in that region Mesobuthus is the only genus similar to this scorpion.
It is not a Lychas sp or Isometrus sp.
Mesobuthus eupeus is widespread in central Asia; also M. martensii and M. caucasicus are present in Gobi desert.
I have all these 3 species and I think it is not a M. caucasicus.

could also be an undescribed speciessmall chance, but not impossible..... The Gobi desert is RATHER large :) It could be one of the three Mesobuthus mentioned, regional morphs and so on.....Anyway, not my specialty so I will refrain from throwing species names around :)
