Scorpio phipsonii Pocock, 1893: 307-310

Current combination.

Heterometrus phipsonii (Pocock, 1893)

Probably not type.

♂ ( ZMH-A000939), Indien [India], BMNH don, ded. VI.1894.

Remarks.

Pocock (1893) reported several specimens from Madras, as well as one male from Madras and one female from Sheravoy Hills; both collected by Thurston. There is no evidence that the present specimen belongs to this material and we do not consider it part of the type series.
