03B287FBCB64FFDFFF3CF92AFA97FB49.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION: The adults are 55 – 72 mm long. Measurements of the carapace, telson, segments of the metasoma and segments of the pedipalps, and numbers of pectinal teeth are given in Table 1. The base color is uniformly reddish brown, fingers are black, legs and telson are yellowish brown. For habitus see Figs. 7 – 12. MESOSOMA AND CARAPACE: The mesosoma bears several pointed (male) or rounded (female) granules; the seventh segment is ventrally smooth, with four obsolete carinae. The entire carapace bears sparse minute granules and lacks carinae. There is a pronounced central depression in the anterior margin of the carapace. Pectinal teeth number 6 – 8. METASOMA AND TELSON: The metasoma is dorsally nearly smooth, with only sparse granules. Granules are more numerous on lateral and ventral surfaces between carinae. The first segment bears 10 carinae, the second through fourth segments bear eight carinae, and the fifth segment bears seven carinae, all composed of granules some of which are pointed. The ventral carina of the fifth segment posteriorly forks to form the letter Y. The dorsolateral carinae of the third and fourth segments posteriorly terminate in a pronounced denticle. The telson is elongate, smooth, with minute granules. PEDIPALPS: For position and distribution of trichobothria on the chela and patella of pedipalps see Figs. 1 – 6. External trichobothria on the patella number 17 (5 eb, 2 esb, 2 em, 4 est, 4 et) (Fig. 5), and ventral trichobothria on the patella number 10 (Fig. 6) or 9. The femur is granulated, has six granulose carinae, and the patella has five carinae with pronounced internal double tubercles. The entire manus dorsally bears rounded granules, which in the central part are minute and form a longitudinal carina. The movable fingers bear straight double rows of granules with internal and external granules. The male has fingers of pedipalps strongly flexed, whereas in the female they are flexed only slightly (Figs. 9 and 12). AFFINITIES. The described features distinguish Scorpiops pakistanus sp. n. from all other species of the genus. They are recounted in the key below. Scorpiops pakistanus sp. n. is most similar to S. petersii, from which it differs chiefly by the higher number (9 – 10) of ventral trichobothria on the patella of pedipalps, marked sexual dimorphism in the shape of pedipalp chela, and lighter color of the legs.	en	Kovařík, František, Ahmed, Zubair (2009): Three new species of Scorpiops Peters, 1861 (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae: Scorpiopinae) from Pakistan.

03B287FBCB62FFDCFC80FB1DFC62FEF5.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION: The adults are 50 – 60 mm long. Measurements of the carapace, telson, segments of the metasoma and segments of the pedipalps, and numbers of pectinal teeth are given in Table 1. The base color is uniformly reddish brown, fingers are black, legs and telson are yellow to yellowish brown. For habitus see Figs. 13 – 18. MESOSOMA AND CARAPACE: The mesosoma bears several granules and primarily in the hind portion one median carina; the seventh segment is ventrally smooth, with four carinae. The entire carapace bears sparse minute granules and lacks carinae. There is a pronounced central depression in the anterior margin of the carapace. Pectinal teeth number 6 – 9. METASOMA AND TELSON: The metasoma is smooth, with only sparse granules. The first segment bears 10 carinae, the second through fourth segments bear eight carinae, and the fifth segment bears seven carinae, all composed of granules some of which are pointed. The ventral carina of the fifth segment posteriorly forks to form the letter Y. The dorsolateral carinae of the third and fourth segments posteriorly terminate in a pronounced denticle. The telson is elongate and smooth. PEDIPALPS: For position and distribution of trichobothria on the patella of pedipalps see Figs. 19 and 21. External trichobothria on the patella number 17 (5 eb, 2 esb, 2 em, 4 est, 4 et) (Fig. 19), and ventral trichobothria on the patella number 14 – 18 (8 with 14, 33 with 15, 10 with 16, 3 with 17, and 2 with 18) (Fig. 21). The femur is granulated, has six granulose carinae, and the patella has five carinae with pronounced internal double tubercles. The entire manus dorsally bears rounded granules. The movable fingers bear straight double rows of granules with internal and external granules. The male has fingers of pedipalps strongly flexed, whereas in the female they are flexed only slightly. AFFINITIES. The described features distinguish Scorpiops pseudomontanus sp. n. from all other species of the genus. They are recounted in the key below. Scorpiops pseudomontanus sp. n. is most similar to Euscorpiops montanus (Karsch, 1879), which it resembles morphologically as well as in the high number of ventral trichobothria on the patella of pedipalps (Fig. 21). However, the new species differs in the position of trichobothrium Eb 3 on the external surface of chela between trichobothria Db and Dt, which is currently a generic-level character as this position of trichobothrium Eb 3 is found in all species of Scorpiops (Fig. 2), whereas in the species of Euscorpiops this trichobothrium is situated between trichobothria Dt and Est (plate I, fig. 2 in Kovařík, 2009: 26). In the genus Scorpiops an equally high number of ventral trichobothria on the patella of pedipalps is present only in S. demisi Kovařík, 2005 from India, which however differs from the new species in having 18 external trichobothria on the patella (5 eb, 2 esb, 2 em, 4 est, 5 et).	en	Kovařík, František, Ahmed, Zubair (2009): Three new species of Scorpiops Peters, 1861 (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae: Scorpiopinae) from Pakistan.

The described features distinguish Scorpiops zubairahmedi sp. n. from all other species of the genus. They are recounted in the key below. Scorpiops zubairahmedi sp. n. is most similar to S. petersii Pocock, 1893, from which it differs in having a very narrow and long chela manus of pedipalp. Adult male chela length to width ratio is 3.38, whereas in the male of S. petersii it is only 2.6 – 2.8. Another difference is in relative size of the telson, which is larger in the new species.	en	Kovařík, František, Ahmed, Zubair (2009): Three new species of Scorpiops Peters, 1861 (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae: Scorpiopinae) from Pakistan.
