Ah, had to go on IE to do that, firefox didn't show the boxes with the red 'x'. I love the A. amourexi stinging shot.

 

[CaptainChaos]

Ok, sorry guys! Now they should all be visible (hopefully fixed the mauritanicus too)
It´s hard to get anything done right when it´s done by a genius like me

Yes thank you, great pictures, the A. mauritanicus one still isn't showing up though.

 

[JSN]

Awsome pictures CaptainChaos, wow...

 

[Brandelmouche]

Your pics are vary good, you have some beautiful species.

...B. Occitanus...

Hi Stefan,

your "B. occitanus" definitely isn´t belonging to the genus Buthus, it doesn´t show the lyre-shaped granulation on the carapace. Most likely it´s A. amoreuxi. I´ve often seen this sp offered as B. occitanus, mostly with specimens from Egypt.

M. martensii 5th instar

A. mauritanicus pre-molt 2nd instar and post molt

Hi Alex,

thanks for the info on that one as i only wrote the name which i got them with (haven´t yet had time for some backgroundcheck). They look a bit different than the A. amourexi that i got on the same shipment (could be from Egypt)?

Cheers
Stefan

Please help with Id

Hey all, first post on this good looking forum.

Im down under in aussie and ive got a few scorps i was hoping you all might be able to help me ID the species of.

Buthid of some kind?

This girl had 15 babies and a couple have died since then, they have only just started moving out.

 

[drapion]

I would say the first one is Lychas variatus and the third one a Urodacus novaehollandiae and the second one is a Urodacus ssp. for sure

Nice pictures, the first is probably a Isometrus/Lychas sp. but I don't think a more detailed ID is possible from that picture. I'd agree with drapion the second two are Urodacus sp. but I've no idea on the species.

 

[lychas]

lychas marmoreus and the last 2 look like urodacus manicatus to me
