While i was checking out the paper in which this species is described I found out that, the species name (calcitrans) is derived from the Latin word calcitrare ('to kick'), referring to the very rapid movement of legs III during display by males of this species.
The arm segments of the rock scorpion are bulging and its nippers are claw like, while the wood scorpion has weedy thin arm segments and snipper like nippers.
