Centruroides Nigrescens Vs Tityus Asthenes

Hi guys

I'm just askin you guys specially the ones that have this sp or like only Tityus Asthenes. Can anyone distinguish the difference between a Nigrescens and an Asthenes cause really, I cant tell which is which.

I am ordering a pair sub adult T Asthenes so I believe that they are all the same color which is black

I ve read pluto's thread but the pictures are busted so


Thanks guys =)

Look at their metasomas. They're nothing alike. Tityus have thicker and shorter segments than the Centruroides.

Also, asthenes has a pretty particular shape of the Telson.

I see I see.

Tityus does have a more thicker tail? hmmm gotta see that

Thanks for the info bro

Just need more

Slightly thicker. But the length of the tail segments is noticeable.
Make a search for T. asthenes telson and you'll see what I mean with "particular shape"

Now here is a picture that the seller gave to me.

Well, as for assurance, I am 90% that this is a T asthenes so Ill give it to you guys to fill the 10% I m Doubting about xD. He is a new seller for me and not coming from my usual supplier so..

so here's a pic of it

Maybe GS will be able to ID from that pic.
I'd need something bigger though

Lets wait for em! Brother GS!!!!!
