In the absence of the other syntypes, we agree with Kovarik'sassessment.  Remarks on collector. Adolphe (1829-1857), Hermann (1826-1882) and Robert Schlagintweit (1833-1885) were German explorers who regularly sent zoological specimens collected during their travels to Henri de Saussure (1829-1905). In 1854, the brotherhood was commissioned by the East India Company to organize a scientific expedition in their territory. For the next three years, they explored the Deccan, and then the Himalayas, Karakoram and Kuen-lun Mountains (Schalgintweit, Schlagintweit and Schlagintweit 1861). The present specimen was probably collected during this expedition.   Figure 60.  Scorpiops afghanus Lourenco& Qi, 2006, female holotype (  A-C).  Scorpiops affinisKrapelin, 1898 [=  Scorpiops hardwickii(Gervais, 1843)], male lectotype (  D-F): A, Ddorsal aspect of habitus B, Eventral aspect of habitus C, Fretrolateral aspect of chela illustrating dentate margins of fingers.
