Help in identifying Vachoniolus globimanus and Buthacus leptochelys

[matmohair1]

Hi, I'm working for an environmental association in the UAE, and on some of our fieldwork we are required to identify the fauna and flora of the areas in given projects, including relocation of wildlife to protected areas. I decided to work on a quick field guide to identify local scorpions but had problems comparing female Vachoniolus globimanus with Buthacus leptochelys. While this can be conducted at our lab, its not always possible at remote areas, where release is favored to sample collection. Thanks in advance, your assistance is much appreciated
