A new species of Scorpiops Peters, 1861 is described from Wuxi and Wushan County, Chongqing City, China. The new species is mainly characterized by a moderate size, in relation to the other species of genus, with dark reddish-brown to reddish-black coloration; 15-17 (usually 17) external trichobothria (5 eb, 1-2 esb, 1-2 em, 4 est, 4 et), 8-11 (usually 10) ventral trichobothria in the pedipalp patella and 4-5 (usually 5) ventral trichobothria on chela; pedipalp chela fingers are scalloped in males and nearly straight in females.

A new species, Scorpiops (Euscorpiops) krachan, belonging to the family Scorpiopidae Kraepelin, 1905 is described based on three adult males and one adult female collected in the Kaeng Krachan National Park, Phetchaburi Province, Thailand. The new species presents most features exhibited by scorpions of the subgenus Euscorpiops and can be characterized notably by a very small size, a sexual dimorphism strongly marked with male pedipalps elongated, a distinct trichobothrial pattern and other morphological features. This new taxon may represent one endemic element for the scorpion fauna of Thailand.

Despite scorpion diversity has long been acknowledged, the mystery of how it develops remains unresolved. The geographical distribution, species abundance and biodiversity of scorpions fauna in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is poorly explored with many aspects like morphological, geographical, ecological and phylogenetically. As a result of faunaistic study on scorpions a total of 171 specimens from various regimes, Charsadda, Mardan, Peshawar and Kohat districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan from March 2018 to October 2018 were collected.
