I thought gentili was a subspecies of franzwerneri. I probably read the pdf wrong ("Overview of Genus Hottentotta" I think it was called? It's on Euscorpius. I'll go find it and edit this post with the link to it). That's pretty awesome with the size difference though! H.gentili is one of my top 3 dream scorpions second only to A.crassicauda :D

Edit: Here it is: http://www.science.marshall.edu/fet/euscorpius/p2007_58 full.pdf "No. 58: Kovařík, F. 2007. A revision of the genus Hottentotta Birula, 1908, with descriptions of four new species (Scorpiones: Buthidae). Euscorpius, 58: 1–107." Franzwerneri is in pgs. 19-22. Gentili is in pgs. 22-25.
You are absolutely correct! I had it backwards. It used to be H. franzwerneri gentili.
