[Tityus]

Hi Christoph,

I think you typed the wrong name Centruroides archimanus must be => Centruroides arctimanus :8o sorry

Centruroides archimanus do not exist

hank you¡¡¡ if it has a few very nice colors, but also it is necessary to be grateful for him very much to the camera of my friend ¡¡¡¡

Hi.

Thanks for the compliment. The picture was taken in the field and it isn't Smeringurus but Paruroctonus.

We should thank AB and Oliver for such a great thread. All photos are amazing. :clap:

I have attached an Diplo picture from Mexico.

Nice smes, Chad! Great picture.

Tom

oops, totally my fault :S :S

(sorry Chris)

 

[latastei]

one of my tityus, say me that are serrulatus but i dude, what specie could be?

 

[G. Carnell]

looks more like a Paraensis or falcon-blah species, no?

 

[Tityus]

I say Tityus paraensis if I look the colours and patterns.

Tom

 

[TheNothing]

thats a tough call...
i don't have T paraensis to compare
but
I remember having this conversation with Tom before
T. paraensis and T. falconensis look extremely familiar when young... i'd have to give it another molt before I was sure.... T. falconensis become quite different after 4th instar

Hi,

...it isn't Smeringurus but Paruroctonus.

Well, I expected it to be neither Smeringurus nor Paruroctonus but another Vaejovid genus because of the strange shape of the telson.

We should thank AB and Oliver for such a great thread. All photos are amazing.

Indeed, I´m still waiting for this thread to become a sticky.

one of my tityus, say me that are serrulatus but i dude, what specie could be?

A lot of Tityus spp are having very similar looking scorplings in the first instars, just like Centruroides spp. Impossible to say which Tityus sp yours are while they are still that small. It´s definitely not T. serrulatus/T. stigmurus Confluenciata though.


1.) Orthochirus innesi with 1st instars

2.) Orthochirus innesi with 2nd instars

3.) Tityus cf ecuadorensis with 1st instars

4.) Tityus stigmurus Confluenciata with 1st instars

[G. Carnell]

those orthochirus babies are HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

nice one Alex

 

[ScorpZion]

-=====where can i get the little stuby black scorps with 1st instars on her back? that scorp has been on my wish list since starting :wall:

 

[fusion121]

1.) Orthochirus innesi with 1st instars

2.) Orthochirus innesi with 2nd instars

Is the average brood always 4/5 scorplings?

(again great pictures :clap: )

 

[fusion121]

I say Tityus paraensis if I look the colours and patterns.

Tom

I'm still interested to know whether anyone has checked Giorgios ID on these :? , there are species that loo very similar to Tityus paraensis ("Scorpions of brazil" has some in), on their next moult I'm going to try and actually ID them properly.

 

[Nazgul]

Hi,

Oliver, I´ve had 3 - 10 scorplings per brood so far. But they are very slowly growing and I´ve had already quite a few deaths during the raising.

All the paraensis coming from Giorgio are originating in a single gravid female which had been brought from Fr.-Guyana by a German dealer named Vinmann (I guess some of the Europeans might have heard of him). I have been at the same Terraristika show on which Giorgio bought that particular female. Therefor the ID should be correct, as Vinmann had been there collecting and brought back some birdspiders as well. About two months ago some more T. paraensis have been imported to Germany, also from Fr.-Guyana. I don´t know about the importer for them but they have been sold by Vinmann again and another private person.

1.) Compsobuthus arabicus, male

2.) C. arabicus, gravid female

Sounds like Compsobuthus in that respect.

Lovely C.arabicus

 

[fusion121]

Compsobuthus sp. I think C. longipalpis although it could apprently be C. werneri werneri, I don't have a female though

sorry, big picture
