No other potential species in this location have this morphology. However, there isnt enough of the remains to make a formal id.

@NateKingsford can you please check the ID I have suggested for this one as this species doesn't seem to have bene recorded in this vicinity since 1948.

@AlexInTheWild U. manicatus are everywhere in Canberra and a lot of Australia for that matter, one of the most common, if not the most common, scorpion in Australia.
This one is a female, distinguishable from males as they have shorter and wider pectines than males, however they're only noticeable from the ventral surface. The general morphology and colour can help with identifying between males and females too
