I first thought this to be juvenile tailless whip scorpions.

Similar species (??, not sure), but unsharp picture. They like to hang out together, and I have found them twice sharing the habitat with one or two C. gracilis (scorpion)

Agree, pics of the eyes would be nice.

Definately donīt agree on Sicarius. Body-leg proportions just donīt fit, underground the spider is on seems rather unlikely for Sicarius,too. Last, thereīs no known Sicarius spec around in Mexico (see PLATNICK).

Greetings,

Stefan

I am sorry, that's the only picture I got. From memory it was quite large, I guess the body alone was close to one inch.

And it was living under a big rock, the roots/ground is the underside of the rock.

The "spiders" in the last two pics are harvestmen. Lets see, I think I've got my handy little golden guide in here somewhere...

Oops. Guess I don't have it here. But the harvestmen are in there too.
