Mystery Amblypigid?

[Canth]

Was browsing whatsthatbug.com and came across this wicked looking Amblypigid sp from Mexico http://whatsthatbug.com/images/whipscorpion_cancle.jpg Can anyone ID it? You can find it about 1/3 down this page: http://whatsthatbug.com/scorps.html

Looks like a freshly moulted Acanthophrynus. These get huge, maybe the largest (body weight) in the world. We have one at the AMNH that eats adult Blaberus giganteus. It is easily 3x the weight of a Damon.
