Mesobuthus sp.? I'm not sure whether Mesobuthus gibbosus can occur in Cyprus. Probably Mesobuthus cyprius since they are native to Cyprus.

This is Buthus kunti!
You can see the lyre on the Carapax...it speaks for Genus Buthus.
Mesobuthus cyprius is more gracile. I know because i had them:
Female:
Male:
I was last year on Cyprus on the greek side but didnt found any scorpion :-(. Where did your cousin find this one?
About venomous i cant say much. European scorpions are not so venomous like African but...better be carefull
Buthus kunti and Mesobuthus cyprius are endemic!
