Thanks

I'm sure this has been covered ad nauseam elsewhere in the forum, but it's all members of family Buthidae and that one Nebo sp. that has the hemotoxic venom.

Family Hemioscorpiidae: The species Hemiscorpius lepturus.

but I have not read so very much about it. But you can probably read more at the homepage.

It was a Hemiscorpius sp.? Dang.

Well, I got the Buthidae part right, and that covers 99.88% of the DWA species. (851 Buthids, so 852 listed scorps, 100*(851/852) = 99.88)
