- Gorgeous little species that is hard to photograph! Their colors make great camouflage and they blend right in to the substrate.
- This New World scorpion is found in the Lesser Antilles - This species is widely distributed over the Lesser Antilles south of St. Vincent, where it has been collected at the islands of Bequia, Mustique, Union and Grenada. It probably occurs also in most (if not all) of the remaining Grenadines and satellite islets of Grenada.
- Adult size for males is 2.28" - 3.27" and females are 2.24"-2.84".
- Pectine count is ♂ 19 - 22, ♀ 18 - 21. Females are, in general, similar to the male, but there is a strong sexual dimorphism evidenced by: (1) mesosoma relatively wider; (2) metasoma shorter and stouter; (3) pedipalp chela much smaller, obtusely subtriangular in shape and narrower to slightly wider than patella; (4) pedipalp fingers with basal lobe/notch combination weaker; (5) genital papillae absent; (6) pectines with basal middle lamella pyriform and strongly dilated; (7) sternite V with smooth patch slightly smaller and less bulky; (8) metasomal segments IV–V and telson dark reddish-brown.
- They are not as communal as some other Tityus species.
