Here is another recent paper by Zhiyoung Di and Sha Qiao. In this paper they describe a new species in the genus Euscorpiops Vachon, 1980 (Euscorpiidae) from China.
Euscorpiops lii Di & Qiao, 2020
The article also presents an identification key for the genus in China.
Abstract:
A new species, Euscorpiops lii sp. nov., from Xizang (Tibet) in southwest China is described herein. Adult scorpions in this species are principally characterized by yellow-brown colour, a length of less than 40 mm, 17 trichobothria on the external surface of the pedipalp patella and usually six trichobothria on the ventral surface of the pedipalp patella in both sexes. With the description of this new species, the number of known species of the genus Euscorpiops from China is raised to 13 (five species found in Xizang, including the new species, and eight other species in Yunnan). A key to the species of the genus Euscorpiops from China is presented.
