Scorpion Picture Thread

[redhourglass]

Hello Alex,

I sent an email to you prior to posting here.

Agree with the determination of sex being male.

Diplocentrus adult males will have the pedipalp chela granulation and keel structure unlike adult females. The one thing about Diplocentrus is the tarsomere II spinal formation/formula for the alternate look into while examining the literature and trichobothria position of pedipalp chela etc.

I found an article by Reddell '77 pg.49 (not noted in email).

Provided below is an old drawing of an Diplo I did through Sissom's collection.

Thank you Alex and look out for the literature pak.

Kind Regards.

Hi,

yes, indeed. It definately does not belong to three of the four Diplocentrus sp. described for Belize. Maybe it´s the last remaining one but I wasn´t able to get a key or a description for this species yet. It could also be a species described for one of the neighbour countries.

I have no idea about the sex but I´m leaning towards male because of the elongated pincers.

Greetings
Alex

the claws are odd!

 

[Nikos]

Btw, one Euro cent coin is about 0,44 inches

I've seen this E. Alpha and it is extremely small!!!
A wellfed e.italicus 2nd instar scorpling is bigger that an adult e.alpha.
Strange little scorp..

 

[G. Carnell]

LOL?
thats ridiculous!
thats quite small :|

The adults seem to be very small, the babies must be tiny.

Hi,

a dwarf and a giant of the genus Euscorpius, both of them are adult females. The coin is a European 1 Cent coin.

1.) Euscorpius alpha
2.) Euscorpius italicus

I've just found my male E.italicus so I took a picture (next to an adult male E.tergestinus). Big guy...

...tinyssimo ! and they don't grow !
I speak of C.arabicus, but I think it's the same thing with babies C.werneri (Alex have some if I remember well).

 

[G. Carnell]

wow that italicus sure is big!
is that tegestinus only slightly smaller than the flavicaudis?

 

[Ythier]

yes it was almost the same size of flavicaudis..
