Does anyone know what genus (scientific name) the bush rock scorpion is?

I've been told it's a type of Flat Rock scorpion but I'm starting to think not. Sounds like it might be a fat tail. I have no clue.

Made up common name, so only the seller will know what they are (or maybe not even). Seems likely to be some sort of Hadogenus species. No way to know without pictures.

From the species he mentioned I assumed OP was talking about African species.
A location and some more context might be helpful here.
Given that he suspects it may be a fat tail, any hadogenes or other flat rock species can be ruled out simply because the tail of these species is rather thin. Chaerilus I could more easily see being mistaken for androctonus. I’m not sure if I recall correctly but I feel like I have also seen hottentotta go by a similar name.
