Comments.

Scorpiops luridus is the absolute offbeat member of Scorpiops : large body, pale yellow color, strong chelas and swollen telson. We checked other specimens (1 male and 1 female, from Shannan Prefecture, Xizang) and the type specimens, confirmed the distinctive color of this species not because of the immature age after molting.
