Comments.

Scorpiops margerisonae was establishedby Kovařík (2000b) just using 1 male specimens. Its most important character provided by Kovařík (2000b) is the highest numer of pectinal teeth (12-13). Although the original description is poor, we can find another valuable information: Scorpiops margerisonae has a pair strong chelas with rectangular manus (with big granules in surface). Di & Zhu (2010) redescribed Scorpiops margerisonae and reported its female for the first time, and changed its pectinal teeth numer characters as a range 8-10 in females, 9-13 in males.
