Description:

Diplocentrus actun? Grutas Calcehtok, Yucatan Diplocentrus actun? Grutas Calcehtok, Yucatan Went to this grotto last week with a group of friends, and told them that I was looking for this scorpion. One of my friends spotted this under a rock and it was quite exciting! This specie (If it is indeed D. actun) was described on 2002 with only a female specimen. I believe this is a female specimen as well. I will take some more pictures later, as I don't like this ones very much. This specie looks very similar to D. anophthalamus, and thus far, my only reason to believe that it's a D. actun and not a D. anophthalamus is because of its location, since both occur around the same area, but have been found on different caves.
