10-12 cm. The adult of this species is uniformly pale yellow, with fingers and the end of the metasoma darker.
Pectines of the female with 22 to 29 teeth, male's ones with 30 to 38 teeth.

Androctonus australis "hector morph"
10-12 cm. The adult of this morph is brown-yellow, with chelae and the last two metasomal segments darker.

That and google for scorpion files I am sorry don't have the link bookmarked I suffer browser's absent mindedness and usually google it myself nearly every day...

also try image.google.com and type-in the morphs into the search box... that can work pretty good too... but you will get numerous links without pics of the particular species you are seeking too.
