Abstract:
The genus Scorpiops Peters, 1861 exhibits significant
diversity, especially in Peninsular India. From our continued
arachnological surveys in the Western Ghats and Peninsular India, we
describe a new species based on molecular and morphological data. Furthermore, additional sampling revealed new species with distinct
molecular signatures, but future investigation is warranted to gather
additional data before species are formally described.
