Maybe you're referring to Apistobuthus?

Yeah but make sure you read that warning. I guess the venom for that species is pretty potent..

Seems like I've heard they are hard to take care of. But I wouldn't believe that, so many things flying around, I'd try it if you have a chance to get any. Some people have a bad experience and think "that's how it is" for them and everybody else. I've wanted to mess around with this sp but won't unless I just happened to come across it. It's really weird! Why does it have a tail like that?!....

???

There's a sub acuelus in many scorpions...

I think a couple species have a more pronounced one.

The sub aculeus is most commonly found in the genus Tityus

Is it more common in Tityus than Centruroides? More species I suppose...

Maybe it is just that most of us are much more likely to come across Centruroides that Tityus...

Regardless...also very common with Centruroides sp.

Definitely hard to keep (even that may be an understatement), very finicky about temps and humidity. Might find one in Europe but not likely.

John,
Yes, just over 3 times as many documented species of Tityus (203) as Centruroides (71) and none are said to not have a subaculear tubercle; whereas, not all Centruroides are known for bearing such a feature. But yes, Centruroides, Tityus, Lychas, and so on and so forth down the line are known to produce species with afformentioned feature.
