SPINIFORM FORMULA OF TARSOMERES OF LEGS OF PANDINOPS (FIGS. 45 – 48). Tarsomere I. Spiniform macroseta pd, vt, rt, vst are present on legs I – IV, but pd can be replaced by seta in P. bellicosus as intraspecific variability; pst is present on legs III – IV; pt and vm are absent on all legs; rm is present on legs I – IV, but is often replaced by seta or spiniform seta (Fig. 48). Tarsomere II. Spiniform formula is 3 / 4: 3 / 4: 3 / 4 - 5: 3 / 4 - 5. Tarsomere II with 2 spines on inclined anteroventral surface, but P. turieli sp. n. has a seta on leg III transformed to " spiniform seta " which indicates not well developed third spine (Fig. 47) as intraspecific variability.	en	Kovařík, František (2016): Scorpions of the Horn of Africa (Arachnida: Scorpiones).

03B0D50FFFF0FFCFC221FB74FBB6FC1A.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS. Since no data about macrosetae of tarsomeres and other characters (for example number of ventral trichobothria on pedipalp patella) have been published yet, and only the limited number of specimens of the rare Pandinops genus were examined in this study, I cannot define intraspecific variability exactly for most of the characters.	en	Kovařík, František (2016): Scorpions of the Horn of Africa (Arachnida: Scorpiones).

03B0D50FFFF0FFC9C0F3FBD8FC79F88E.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS. Pandinops bellicosus is based on a male for which L. Koch (1875: 4) gives Cairo as the type locality. However, this provenance is erroneous (Simon, 1910: 83, Kraepelin, 1899: 121). No original label is attached to the holotype, instead it bears a label stating: holotype Pandinus bellicosus (L. Koch, 1875), Habab, Jickeli leg., Nr. 2521.

The base color is uniformly reddish brown to black, legs and telson are yellow, pedipalp chela is orange to reddish brown, chelicerae are yellow to orange, and carapace is reddish brown to black, lighter in the anterior part. Carapace and mesosoma (Figs. 9 – 10). The entire carapace is smooth in the middle, covered by granules along margins. The anterior margin of the carapace is symmetrically concave, medially strongly convex, and it bears several macrosetae. The tergites are smooth and can be very finely granulated, mainly tergite VI; tergite VII is strongly granulated. The pectinal tooth count is 15 – 16 in males, female unknown. The pectine marginal tips extend to quarter of the fourth sternite in the male. The sternites are smooth, without carinae, but with two longitudinal furrows; sternite VII is densely granulated. Metasoma and telson (Figs. 11 – 13). The metasomal segments I – IV bear a total of 6 sparsely granulated carinae. The ventral carinae are absent. The fifth segment has five variously developed and granulated carinae. The dorsal and lateral surfaces of the segments are smooth with several solitary granules. The metasomal segments I – V ventrally densely granulated with the same intensity on all segments. The entire metasoma and telson are sparsely hirsute. The telson is smooth, elongate, with the aculeus approximately as long as vesicle or shorter. Pedipalps (Figs. 14 – 21). The pedipalps are hirsute. The femur is granulated dorsally and bears four carinae composed of several strong granules. The patella is smooth, finely granulated on internal surface only, there are two externo lateral smooth carinae and one internal carina is indicated by 5 – 7 big granules. Pedipalp chela is dorsally smooth to bumpy, without carinae and pointed granules, lobe smooth. Several well defined granules are present on external suface. The chela internal is smooth, sparsely granulated mainly in anterior part, with two short characteristic smooth longitudinal carinae indicated by 4 – 6 granules. The movable and fixed fingers of the pedipalp with distinct granules in a row divided into 5 – 7 rows by big concave granules. Legs. All legs are without distinct carinae and smooth. The tarsomeres are hirsute with setae and macrosetae more densely on legs I – II. For spiniform formula of tarsomeres of legs see paragraph under Pandinops section. Measurements. See Table 1. AFFINITIES. The described features distinguish P. friedrichi sp. n. from all other species of the genus. They are recounted in the key below. Kovařík (2009: 53, 118, figs. 323 – 324) misidentified the specimen from MZUF collection as P. peeli, which has also granulated metasomal segments I – II ventrally but differently than P. friedrichi sp. n. (see the key below and Figs. 64 versus 66). These two species occur in different areas of distribution. P. peeli is known from the northern Somaliland, and P. friedrichi sp. n. from south Somalia (Fig. 69) where it represents the southern limits of the genus Pandinops distribution.	en	Kovařík, František (2016): Scorpions of the Horn of Africa (Arachnida: Scorpiones).

03B0D50FFFFDFFDDC26FFB05FEE6FA69.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. Total length 55 – 72 mm. Base color uniformly reddish brown / orange to black, legs yellow or orange and telson yellow or white, pedipalp chela orange to reddish brown. Carapace smooth in middle, several granules sparsely along margins only. External trichobothria on patella number 13 – 16 (5 eb, 2 – 4 esb, 2 em, 1 – 2 est, 3 et); ventral trichobothria on patella number 22 – 27; internal trichobothria on chela number 6 – 8, ventral trichobothria on chela number 10 – 12. Pedipalp chela hirsute. Pedipalp chela dorsally tuberculated / granulated, without pointed granules, lobe almost smooth. Chela internal smooth, sparsely granulated mainly in anterior part, with two smooth short longitudinal carinae. Chela of male length / width ratio is 1.68 – 1.71. Pectinal teeth number 11 – 15 in both sexes. Sternite VII bumpy without granules. Metasomal segments I – II ventrally smooth, III – V granulated, mainly on segment IV; metasomal segments I – IV with ventral carinae absent or indicated only. Spiniform formula of tarsomere II = 3 / 4: 3 / 4: 3 / 4 - 5: 3 / 4 - 5. Tarsomere II with 2 spines on inclined anteroventral surface. Length to width ratio of male metasomal segment V is 1.90 – 1.93.	en	Kovařík, František (2016): Scorpions of the Horn of Africa (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Part VIII.

03B0D50FFFFDFFDDC26FFB05FEE6FA69.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION. The adults are 55 – 68 mm long. The habitus is shown in Figs. 22 – 25. For position and distribution of the trichobothria of pedipalps see Figs. 35 – 41. External trichobothria on patella number 13 – 16 (5 eb, 2 – 4 esb, 2 em, 1 – 2 est, 3 et); ventral trichobothria on patella number 22 – 27; internal trichobothria on chela number 6 – 8, ventral trichobothria on chela number 10 – 12. Sexual dimorphism: adult male has bigger pectines (Figs 28 – 29); there are differences neither in the shape of pedipalps chela (Figs. 32 and 36) nor in metasoma length (Figs. 49 – 54). Coloration (Figs. 22 – 27, 55 – 56). The base color is uniformly reddish brown / orange to black, legs are yellow or orange, telson is yellow or white, pedipalp chela is orange to reddish brown, chelicerae are yellow to orange, and carapace is yellow or orange in the anterior part and rather reddish brown in the posterior part. Carapace and mesosoma (Figs. 26 – 27). The entire carapace is smooth in the middle, covered by granules sparsely along margins. The anterior margin of the carapace is symmetrically concave, medially strongly convex, and it bears several macrosetae. The tergites are smooth and can be finely granulated mainly in male. The pectinal tooth count is 14 in males, 11 – 13 (1 x 11, 3 x 12, 2 x 13) in females from Ethiopia and 15 in the female from Kenya. The pectine marginal tips extend to quarter of the fourth sternite in the male, and to three quarters of the third sternite in the female. All sternites are smooth, without granules or carinae, but with two longitudinal furrows. Sternite VII is bumpy without granules. Metasoma and telson (Figs. 49 – 54). The metasomal segments I – IV bear a total of 6 smooth carinae, only the carinae on the fourth segment can be partly granulated. The ventral carinae are absent or indicated only. The fifth segment has seven variously developed and granulated carinae. The dorsal and lateral surfaces of the segments are smooth without granules. The segments I – II are ventrally smooth, III – V are granulated, mainly on segment IV. The entire metasoma is sparsely hirsute, more on the third to fifth segments, and the telson. The telson is smooth, elongate, with the aculeus approximately as long as the vesicle. Pedipalps (Figs. 32 – 44). The pedipalps are hirsute by long setae. The femur is granulated dorsally and bears four carinae composed of solitary strong granules. The patella is smooth, finely granulated on internal surface only, there are two externo lateral smooth carinae and one internal carina is indicated by 3 – 5 big granules. Pedipalp chela is dorsally tuberculated / granulated, without carinae and pointed granules, lobe almost smooth. Several well defined granules are present on external suface. The chela internal is smooth, sparsely granulated mainly in anterior part, with two short characteristic smooth longitudinal carinae in the middle. The movable and fixed fingers of the pedipalp with distinct granules in a row divided into 5 – 7 rows by big concave granules. Legs (Figs. 45 – 48). All legs are without distinct carinae and smooth. The tarsomeres are hirsute by setae and macrosetae more densely on legs I – II. For spiniform formula of tarsomeres of legs see paragraph under Pandinops section.	en	Kovařík, František (2016): Scorpions of the Horn of Africa (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Part VIII.
