Here is an interesting treat for you all. This is an undescribed Centruroides sp. DNA tests have concluded that they are closely related to C margaritatus but there is an interesting twist....They are bigger!! Perhaps the most unusual thing about these is the fact they can have 2 color forms from the same batch. In the pics below are siblings. They dont look like they are even the same species but they are indeed. A few of these were floating around last year as "Centruroides nigrimanus" however that is not correct.
