Türkish scorpion - ID?

[JanPhilip]

A friend of mine sent me these pictures of a scorpion found in Türkey, at the coast between the Aegean and the Mediterranean sea, under a rock. Any ideas on the ID?

Thanks,
Jan Philip.

edit: im now aware that i spelled the title somewhat wrong, sorry

most likely a Buthidae sp. there common in that area

 

[gromgrom]

according to http://www.hottentotta.com/origin.html

Turkey:
Hottentotta judaicus
Hottentotta saulcyi


however it looks like a
Hottentotta trilineatus to me.

Looks like Mesobuthus sp.(gibbosus)

buthus sp or mesobuthus sp its realy nice looking either way

I would also say M. gibbosus.

I don't see a complete Lyre form on the carapace, so Mesobuthus species, possibly M.gibbosus....

I would also say M. gibbosus.
