Alloscorpiops (Laoscorpiops) calmonti Lourenço, 2013: 52–55 , figs. 1–4.

TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE REPOSITORY. Laos, Pathoumphone District , 2 km before Ban Kiet Ngong ; MNHN ( Muséum national d´Histoire naturelle, Paris, France) .

DIAGNOSIS. Total length of female holotype 72 mm. Color uniformly reddish black to black, telson blackish brown. Pectinal teeth number 10 in female, male unknown. Patella of pedipalp with 30 external and 18 ventral trichobothria. Chela of pedipalp with 13–14 ventral trichobothria; all, except V 2, are contained in a continuous straight row adjacent to the ventroexternal carina, with one or two proximal accessory trichobothria extending to the external surface. Male unknown. Chela length to width ratio in female holotype is 3.74.

COMMENTS. Lourenço (2013: 54, fig. 3C) counted five instead of three Eb trichobothria and 11–12 instead of 13–14 ventral trichobothria on the chela, because he erroneously regarded two ventral trichobothria beyond the edge of ventroexternal carinae (i.e. on the external surface) as part of the Eb series (fig. 3D in Lourenço, 2013: 54). However, his fig. 3C shows only one ventral trichobothrium on the external surface (labeled by Lourenço as Eb), with the second located on the edge between the external and ventral surfaces (labeled by Lourenço also as Eb). Similarly, there is one trichobothrium located on the edge between the external and ventral surfaces in the paratype of A. wongpromi sp. n. (see Figs. 14–15).

As in all other species of Alloscorpiops , there is one “dorsal” trichobothrium also on the external surface, which the describer correctly identified as Db (see Lourenço, 2013: 54, fig. 3C).
