Study of the types and specimens of scorpions belonging to the genus Hormiops Fage 1933, deposited in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, leads to the revalidation of this genus, with a redescription of Hormiops davidovi Fage, 1933. This species is known only from the Island of Poulo-Condore in the south region of Vietnam. Differential characters are presence of two lateral eyes, a trichobothria db of chela on the external surface, and an hemispermatophore very simple, with reduced hooks.
