TYPE SPECIES. Scorpio hottentotta Fabricius, 1787 .

DIAGNOSIS. Medium to large buthids, adults 30–130 mm. Sternum type 1 (Soleglad & Fet, 2003), triangular in shape. Pedipalps orthobothriotaxic, type Aβ ( Vachon, 1974, 1975), femur trichobothrium d 2 dorsal, patella d 3 dorsal of dorsomedian carina. Chelal trichobothrium db usually located between est and et, or may be on level with trichobothrium est, rarely between est and esb. Trichobothrium eb clearly on fixed finger of pedipalp. Pectines with fulcra. Dentate margin of pedipalp-chela movable finger with distinct granules divided into 11–16 linear rows and (4)5–7 terminal granules. Chelicerae with typical buthid dentition, fixed finger armed with two denticles on ventral surface. Tergites I–VI granular, with three carinae, tergite VII with 5 carinae. Carapace with distinct carinae, entire dorsal surface nearly planate. First sternite with two granulated lateral stridulatory areas, which however may be reduced in some species (e. g. in H. pachyurus and H. trilineatus ). Metasoma elongate, segment I with 10 carinae, segments II-IV with 8–10 carinae. Ventrolateral carinae of fifth metasomal segment with all granules more or less equal in size and never lobate. Telson bulbous, lumpy and granulated, without subaculear tooth. Legs III and IV with well developed tibial spurs, first and second tarsomeres with paired ventral setae.
