New Scorpions from the Philippines

[AbraxasComplex]

So I recently got a few inverts from the Phlippines. He gave me some scientific names, but I am not too sure about how correct he is. Please help identify them correctly if you can. I also want to know how venomous is the Lychas sp.? I understand the Lychas sp. from Australia is considered quite venomous, but can find no information on the one from the Philippines.


This is the Liocheles australasaie (?). I took pictures as soon as I opened the box.

One with babies... and on a quarter.

Here is the Lychas sp.

One of the females with a few babies (my camera could not focus to get a close enough picture).

Beautiful scorps. Looks like there was a little munching going on with the first bunch and those Lychas sp? are awesome.

 

[Newports]

Wow, very very nice scorps you got there.
I especially like the liocheles sp.

Yeah I noticed that too athlon. Guess they got too hungry lol

 

[AbraxasComplex]

Yah, the female that had the babies had 5 on her back and 3 in the mouths of a couple other scorpions as soon as I opened the package. The Lychas seem to be more communal than this species, but oddly enough the supplier stated the opposite.

Nice additions
The Lychas sp are Lychas infuscatus

 

[lychas]

very jealous, love Liocheles australasiae but hard to find in aust, probably overlooked most of the time when people are collecting thinking they are just juvies

Im not sure but I think Philippine Lychas are level 2...

 

[Tarantula_man94]

The Lychas are likely Lychas infuscatus.

I also found one but it's a bit big I don't know it's features and it's real name.

I'm just thrilled to see another Canuck scorp lover - and in BC! Please keep us apprised of their progress. I know I would be interested if you establish a sucessful breeding program. I was in the Philippines last year and saw some really cool spiders and beetles, but no scorpions unfortunately. Cheers!
