I think the first one might be a male, and the second female. However, I'm really bad at counting pectines and might have made a mistake, so please take my word with a grain of salt.

They both look female to me.

Okay cool. I was thinking that both were female but I just wanted to confirm since scorpions aren't my expertise.

Female L. quinquestriatus


Male L. quinquestriatus


In most Buthid species the male pectines are larger, have a sharper angle, and can come into contact with one another. Most Buthid species the female pectines can not have contact with one another.
