hmm...i have no idea I recall once SkinHeadDave described a similar species down south. I think I'll look through some old post. I want one of those.

i *think* centruroides have a sub aculear protroberance that this one seems to lack
it kinda reminds me ofa Hadrurus _________________

If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.

Well it isnt a Centruroides sp. I do however strongly think that it is either a Vaejovid or a Paruroctonus. The basic body structure is what I am basing that assumption from alone.
Anyway....anybody up for a road trip for some blacklighting in Baja CA?
that is a hadrurus. ive heard there is a cool species found down there with black pincers like that. _________________ i vow to never belong to anyone born from this soil
Hadrurus Thorell, 1876
H. arizonensis Ewing, 1928
H. concolorous Stahnke, 1969
H. hirsutus (Wood, 1863)
H. obscurus Williams, 1970
H. pinteri Stahnke, 1969
H. spadix Stahnke, 1940
And just going by names I would say it's concolorous or pinteri..i've had spadix,arizonensis and obscurus so I know it aint one of them..::lol::
Plus the scorpion Fauna of baja wasn't studies till the late 60's till now so it has to be some thing discovered in recent years.. Hell who know it could be a new species.
ugh actually scorpion files has a picture of all the ones Drapion listed. If it is in fact a Hadrurus then it probably is Hadrurus aztecus but the picture on Scorpin files is well...

Have you or anyone else identified this beautiful species yet? Thanks!
Judging by the profuse melanic coloration and the setation on metsegs I–III, it appears to be Hadrurus pinteri Stahnke, 1969 (Iuridae).

Did anyone ever go collecting and find any of this cool species? I'm not really into scorps but this thing is awesome looking. It also looks incredibly well fed or gravid!!
