Diagnosis. Adults to about 43 mm long; base color of body pale yellow, carapace and mesosomal dorsum with or without underlying dusky markings, mature males and females with reddish telson and pedipalp fingers. Pedipalp palms moderately swollen; palm keels obsolete; ratio of movable-finger length to carapace length 0.7-0.9; ratio of chela length to palm width 3.3-3.9; mature males with small open scallop remaining between fingers when chela closed; supernumerary granules 6 on fixed finger, 7 on movable finger; movable finger with primary row denticles subdivided into 7 subrows by 6 slightly enlarged denticles; movable finger with most proximal supernumerary granule closely paired with adjacent enlarged denticle in primary row: fixed finger with primary-row denticles separated into 6 subrows of denticles by 5 slightly enlarged denticles; fixed finger with proximal supernumerary granule closely paired with an adjacent enlarged denticle in primary row; pedipalp fingers not terminating distally with conspicuously elongate, toothlike denticle. Pectine teeth 13-16 in females. 17-20 in males.
     Similar to Vaejovis eusthenura but differs as follows: reddish pedipalp fingers; reddish telson; 3 pairs setae on frontal margin of carapace (not 5 pairs such setae); larger pedipalp scallop in males.
Vaejovis diazi is polytypic with two endemic subspecies: V. diazi diazi and V. d. transmontanus.
