Diagnosis. A medium-small Euscorpius species , total length 26–31 mm. Color of adults is light brown to medium brown-reddish, without dark marbling on chelicerae. The number of trichobothria on the pedipalp manus ventral surface is 4 (V 1–3 +Et 1). Trichobothrium et on fixed finger is located distally to the notch of the fixed finger; est is located proximally or above the notch; and dsb is located proximally to est and the notch. The number of trichobothria on the pedipalp patella ventral surface is usually 7. The number of trichobothria on pedipalp patella external surface usually is: eb = 4, eba = 4, esb = 2, em = 3, est = 4, et = 5 and 6 (5). Trichobothrium i of the femur is slightly distal or same level of d. The pectinal teeth number in males is usually 8, and in females usually 6 and 7. Dorsal patellar spur barely developed. Femur usually shorter than patella (Lfem/Lpat ratio on average is 0.93). Carapace can be both slightly longer than wide and slightly wider than long. Average ratio Lmet/Wmet> 1.49 (1.51–1.75 with a mean of 1.63). Dorsal metasomal carinae granulated. Ventrolateral and ventromedian carinae on segment V well formed and serrulated.
