Undescribed Vaejovis
This is an undescribed species related to Vaejovis vorhiesi, which is found in the Huachuca Mountains SE of Tucson. It is in a group of small, montane scorpions, typically found in pine forests at higher elevations. You can also find this one all the way up on Mount Lemmon at 9,000 feet! A manuscript describing this and other relatives is in progress.
