Triangular marking on the carapace says vittatus. Not all vittatus have the marking, but all that have that marking are vittatus .. pending revision.

I know nothing about scorpions having only seen one in the wild and that being quite a number of years ago. Fascinating animals. Take a look at this page: http://insects.tamu.edu/fieldguide/cimg364.html
