Tribe Scorpiopini Kraepelin, 1905
Type Genus. Scorpiops Peters, 1861 View in CoL .
Composition. The tribe includes six genera.
Distribution. South and Southeast Asia.
Taxonomic history. This tribe was established by Soleglad & Sissom (2001).
Biogeographic history. The Scorpiopini are distributed mainly in the tropics of Asia, but also reach high altitudes in the Himalayas. Their origin does not appear to be connected with Gondwanaland fragmentation, and they could be considered an ancient Laurasian relict group. The genus Parascorpiops represents a peculiar island form from the mountains of Indonesia.
Diagnosis. See Soleglad & Sissom (2001) for details.
