Subsequent Accounts:
Williams (1980):
"Diagnosis. - Adults to 55 mm long.
Base color uniform pale yellow, no distinctive color markings. Metasoma with ventrolateral keels
crenulate on segments I-IV, ventromedian keels smooth on I, smooth with several crenulations on II; smooth to
crenulate on III, irregularly crenulate on IV; segment I wider than long, segment II length approximates width,
segment III longer than wide, segment V 1.7-2.1 times longer than wide. Pedipalp with narrow palm, fingers elongate; ratio of movable-finger length to carapace length 0.9-1.1; ratio of chela length to palm width 4.6-6.0; ratio of movable-finger length to palm width 3.2-4.0; supernumerary granules 6 on fixed finger, 7 on movable finger, primary-row denticles subdivided into 6 subrows by 5 slightly enlarged denticles on movable and on fixed fingers; palms with keels low and inconspicuous, with low rounded granules; fingers with long
narrow proximal scallop. Pectine teeth 12-14 in females, 15-18 in males.
Similar to Vaejovis puritanus and Vaejovis confusus. Differs from
V. puritanus as follows: pedipalp fixed finger with primary-row denticles subdivided into 6 subrows by 5 slightly enlarged denticles (not subdivided into 5 subrows by 4 slightly enlarged denticles); ratio of metasoma total length to width of segment
V 6.0-7.1 (not 7.5-8.1); ratio of chela length to palm width 5.7-6.0 in males (not 3.9-4.4). Differs from
V. confusus as follows: ratio of fixed-finger length to palm length 1.2-1.4 (not 1.0-1.1); ratio of chela length to palm width greater than 5.0 in males, greater than 4.3 in females; ratio of palm width to brachium width 1.0 or less."
Distribution: NORTH AMERICA. México
(Baja California Norte - upper Gulf region from Algodones south to Oakie Landing, and east of Sierra San Pedro Martir and Sierra Juarez.), USA (southern California).
