notes: 
WILLIAMS & SAVARY 1991
This is one of the rarest species of scorpion in California, being known only from seven specimens, of which only four are adults. A young male specimen from Clough Cave, listed by Gertsch & Soleglad (1972) has three small lateral eyes on each side of the carapace, as do the three specimens from near Hammond. A single juvenile female from near Quincy has two eyes on the left side of the carapace and three on the right.
