Abstract
Scorpiops (Vietscorpiops) dentidactylus subgen. n. et sp. n., belonging to the family Euscorpiidae Laurie, 1896, is described on the basis of single male collected in Dien Bien Province, Muong Nhe District, Nam Vi Commune, in a limestone formation covered by rainforest, in the extreme North of Vietnam. The new subgenus is characterized by the presence of only two lateral eyes represented by lenses and a strong, peculiar apophysis on the internal face of the chelal movable finger. This new scorpion taxon may represent yet another endemic element in the fauna of Southeast Asia, mainly Vietnam and Laos.
