well if you were desperate to know you could try the double tub method

take two clear plastic tubs of the same size, put scorpion in the first and hold it down with kitchen roll, then carefully put the second tup inside the first so the scorpion is held in place.

Turn over - take a picture / use a jewellers loupe.

does anyone know if Hottontotta has any usual visual sexual dimorphism without using the above technique? I'm not up to scratch on buthids Embarassed

Common names are for common scorpions.
