Diplocentrus lindo? - Diplocentrus lindo - female

Diplocentrus lindo? - Diplocentrus lindo - Female
Texas, USA
Size: 3 cm
This scorpion was collected in the Davis mountains of west Texas, but I do not Know the specific locale. It was caught and brought back by a friend of friend, and we believe it is D. lindo. I also think she is either heavily gravid or pre-molt, though I think I saw embryos through her pleural membrane (can they be seen through her ventral surface as well?). The only other species she might be, at least I think, is D. diablo. But I am pretty sure she's a D. lindo. She's a little over an inch in length from chelicerae to telson, but I know that this species is highly variable in size based on where they are found (wish i knew more about where she was picked up). What do you think?
