M. Stockmann. ETYMOLOGY. The specific epithet is a patronym honoring Danniella Sherwood, who located the holotype of Scorpiops hardwickii in the BMNH collections and provided important detailed photographs of the holotype (e. g. Fig. 30 ). DIAGNOSIS ( ♂ ). Total length 57 mm . Base color uniformly reddish black to black. Telson white to yellow, and legs yellowish brown. Pectine teeth number 8–9 in males; fulcra present; 2 marginal and 2 middle lamellae. Patella of pedipalp with 18 (5 eb , 2 esb , 3 em , 4 est , 4 et ) external and 19 ventral trichobothria. Chelal trichobothrium Eb 3 located in middle of manus at level as Dt . Chela of pedipalp with 4 V series trichobothria, located on the ventral surface of manus. Fingers of pedipalps undulate in male. Chela length to width ratio 4.6. Pedipalp movable finger with ca. 75 IAD, which have the same size as MD (ca. 110 in number) and create a second row; there are also 5 ID and 14–15 OD present. Tarsomere II of leg III with 7 stout median ventral spinules and two pairs of flanking setae. Metasoma I with 10 carinae and metasoma II–IV with 8 carinae. Telson elongate and sparsely granulate, length to depth ratio 3.18 in males; annular ring present. DESCRIPTION ( ♂ holotype ). Total length 57 mm . Female unknown. Habitus as shown in Figs. 708–709 . For position and distribution of trichobothria on pedipalps, see Figs. 714a–719a . Fingers of pedipalps undulate in male ( Fig. 715 ). Coloration ( Figs. 708–709 , 725–727 ). Base color uniformly reddish black to black. Telson white to yellow, legs, and sternites are yellowish brown. Chelicerae reddish brown and reticulate, fingers black. Carapace and mesosoma ( Figs. 708–709 , 353–354 ). Entire carapace covered with large granules; carinae absent. Anterior margin of carapace with a deep median notch. Carapace with 3 pairs of lateral eyes of which two are normal and one is reduced. Mesosoma granulated, with one median carina. Tergite VII is pentacarinate. Sternites smooth to very finely granulated with two parallel furrows except sternite VII which has four granulate carinae. Pectine teeth number 8 in male holotype . Pectines with 2 marginal and 2 middle lamellae. Metasoma and telson ( Figs. 710–713 ). Metasoma sparsely hirsute and granulated, with sparse, relatively large granules. Metasomal segment I with 10 carinae, II–IV with 8 carinae, and V with 5 carinae. Median lateral carinae of metasoma II, and median lateral and ventral carinae of metasoma V indicated by isolated granules that may coalesce into carinae. Dorsolateral carinae of segments II–IV terminate posteriorly in a pronounced tooth. Telson elongate and sparsely granulate with annular ring. Figures 708–713 : Scorpiops sherwoodae sp . n .

Male holotype, telson lateral (710), and metasoma and telson lateral (711), ventral (712), and dorsal (713) views. Scale bars: 10 mm (708–709, 711–713). Figures 714–724 : Scorpiops sherwoodae sp . n . Figures 714–723 . Male holotype, pedipalp segments. Chela dorsal (714), external (715) and ventral (716) views. Patella dorsal (717), external (718) and ventral (719) views. Trochanter and femur dorsal (720) and ventral (721) views. Movable finger dentition (723). Trichobothrial pattern is indicated by white circles (714a–719f). Figure 724 . Male paratype, movable finger dentition under UV light. Figures 725 . Scorpiops sherwoodae sp . n . , male holotype in vivo habitus. Figures 726–728 . Scorpiops sherwoodae sp . n . , male holotype in vivo habitus at type locality (726), Female juvenile (non type) in vivo habitus (727), and type locality (728, also type locality for S. dunlopi sp . n . ). Pedipalps ( Figs. 714–724 ). Pedipalps very sparsely hirsute. Patella with 18 (5 eb , 2 esb , 3 em , 4 est , 4 et ) and 19 ventral trichobothria. Chela with 4 V series trichobothria located on the ventral surface. Femur and patella are sparsely granulated. Femur with 4–5 granulose carinae, and patella with 5 carinae with dorsal and ventral patellar spurs pronounced. Manus dorsally with fine, rounded granules, which are in the central area replaced by large granules forming an irregular dorsal secondary carina. External surface of chela densely covered by minute granules, with a regular external secondary carina. Movable fingers bear ca. 70 IAD, which have the same size as MD (more than 100 in number) and create a second row; here are also 5 ID and 14–5 OD present. Legs ( Figs. 355–358 ). Tibia and tarsomeres of legs with several setae not arranged into bristle combs on dorsal surfaces but with sparse rows of spinules on dorsolateral surfaces and on legs I – II also with dense rows on ventrolateral surface. Tarsomere II of leg I with 6, II with 5, III–IV with 7 stout median ventral spinules and two pairs of flanking setae. Femur with 3–4 and patella 4–5 carinae; both femur and patella granulated. Measurements . See Table 7 . AFFINITIES. The combination of pedipalp chela with 4 ventral trichobothria and patella with 19 ventral and 18 external trichobothria is unique in the entire genus Scorpiops . DISTRIBUTION. Thailand ( Fig. 799 ).
