Hi,

I got this scorp in a swap. It was apparently found in Olifantshoek.

Any ideas of the species?

Hey Scorpion.. I would have to guess its an U.formosus looking at the black pincers and tip of tail with its black eyes and center stripe. The colours may vary from province to province depending on its terrain and climate.
Hope this helps!

This is not an adult specimen, is it? It looks like a juvenile U. planimanus to me. Olifantshoek seems to fit with the distribution area of this species as well.
U. formosos is not found this far west.
