What a species?

[LukaszWarsaw]

Hello, Im sorry for my english.

I have a question, what a scorpion species is it?

 

[Animalia]

Well i think its a Hadogenes but im not for sure what exact species. Hope that help you search some.

 

[Joshlividum567]

troglodytes I believe.

 

[Obelisk]

It's a Hadogenes paucidens. There are a couple of pictures of one in my images section.

 

[Leviticus]

Just out of curiousity, how can one tell the difference between troglodytes and paucidens? The main reason I ask is because my LPS has a "flat rock scorpion" and I know it is of the genus Hadogenes but not sure the exact species. I really hate when they use common names.

I thought "Flat Rock" species are generally hard to ID.
There are many species in the Euscorpiidae family and from pictures they all look the same to me.

I too would like some clarification or guidance on how to tell the differences between theses species.

H. paucidens has the yellow stripes, while H. troglodytes is a solid brown or grey.

I wish I could help you with that, but I'll let someone with more experience chime in. Most of them look the same to me too.

Hadogenes = Family Hemiscorpiidae

Oops, Bam, wrong family Forget the Euscorpiidae.......now it should be lot less difficult. It would take me too much time to explain what you guys are asking for, but again, a lot can be found on the net.

For the difference between H.troglodytes and H.paucidens, listen to Obelisk The differences are obvious, the former species lacks the yellowish greenish coloration and the stripes on the tergites.

cheers, Michiel

It looks like a Hadogenes paucidens--it is definitely a Hadogenes.
