So, once again, I'm trying to identify my scorpion.
First of all, please keep the post clean. I'm trying to keep the main subject at the center of the discussion.
DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT ITS MAIMED STINGER
Please vote in the poll only once you are done checking the whole information.
So I bought a scorpion from Chapala Lake, Jalisco, Mexico.
I have done a lot of research, but I still can't figure out which one it is.
So far, I've concluded it would be one of the next 4 species: Centruroides Balsasensi, Centruroides Ornatus, Centruroides Suffusus or Centruroides Vittatus.
I had a scorpion from the same place that, I believe, was a male. It was a bit different, it had 2 little "antennas" under its belly that looked like extra legs.
This is my scorpion. This one should be a female, it was carrying babies.

I remember reading about a specie that had a triangular shape on its head and that was a was to ID it, but I cannot find which scorpion that was anymore. Here, it seems to have that shape.

This is the most pertinent infotmation I have.
Centruroides Suffusus, Can be found in Durango, 8 hours from the place where it was purchased.5th part of the tail is darker, "Yellow to tan with two broad, dark longitudinal stripes on the upper side of the abdomen. Slender pincers and a long, slender tail are characteristic. The pigment on the carapace is similar to that of Centruroides vittatus, but is suffuse (hence the name) toward the lateral margins." http://museum2.utep.edu/chih/theland/animals/invertebrates/scorpions/centruroidessuffusus.htm
Centruroides Ornatus Michoacan/Nayarit, 3 hours distance, http://www.scorpionworlds.fr/pages/...rx-1890/centruroides-ornatus-pocock-1902.html
Centruroides Balsasensis, Mexico D.F./Michoacan 3-6hours distance , 5th part of the tail darker, http://www.scorpionworlds.fr/pages/...truroides-balsasensis-ponce-francke-2004.html
Centruroides Vittatus, Zacatecas 4h, Chihuahua 15h,Coahuila 12h, Nuevo Leon 10h, Tamaulipas 9h. 5th part of the tail is darker, http://bugguide.net/node/view/16668
