Leiurus cf. qinquestriatus based on morphology, but too dark for that species. Have received suggestions that it may be an undescribed subspecies or even species, unfortunately was not collected.

Scorpions with two metasomae (tails) are extremely rare, with one estimate I saw as one in every 5,000 specimens. This specimen is approximately 3cm long head to stinger and is being maintained in captivity to study its behavior.
I found this using a black light flashlight with BJ Stacey (@finatic) at the Carrie Nation Trailhead parking lot at Madera Canyon, Arizona.
Read a detailed account of this specimen's discovery and observation updates at the journal post linked below:

This form was originally described as Centruroides pantheriensis. Adult male. It has been confused with C. sculpturatus but several characters ...and distance... separate the two.
