Well i have just recieved news to say the Lychas i found locally which i thought were just common old marmoreus are in fact Lychas papuanis. So damned happy now.

Could you expand on that Hornet, for those of us who have no idea what your on about.

I found a Lychas sp scorpion locally. At first speaking to mark newton he thought it may be Lychas spinatus which is lumped in with Lychas variatus. After sending him a few specimens he thought it was Lychas marmoreus which is commonly known as the marbled scorpion which is a very widespread common species. He had only examined live specimens when he decided on Lychas marmoreus. He killed 2 specimens so he could properly examine them and it turns out they are actually Lychas papuanis which was also lumped in the variatus complex. Quite a good find.
