Name
Buthus bonito Lourenço & Geniez, 2005 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- [[|]] = Buthus sabulicolaTouloun 2012[1]: 46, 48–58, fig.10, 13, 14 (Syn. n.). 1 F holotype (MNHN), Khnifiss lagoon, Tan-Tan Province, Morocco.
- Buthus bonito: Lourenço and Geniez 2005[2]: 1–5, fig. 1–8, 10; Touloun et al. 2008[3]: 3–4, fig.1; Stockmann and Ythier 2010[4]: 362–363; Pedroso et al. 2013[5]: 300; Aboumaâd et al. 2014[6]: 6; Touloun et al. 2016[7]: 880, fig. 2D.
Type material
1 M holotype (MNHN N° RS8669), Khnifiss lagoon (approx. 27.93°, -12.34°), Tarfaya, Morocco. Paratypes: 2 F (MNHN N° RS8670), from the same locality.
Distribution
known from the Atlantic coast of Morocco south of Tan-Tan extending almost to Dakhla in the Western Sahara (Touloun et al. 2016[7]).
Remarks
Although the type material of B. sabulicola was collected in 2002 by Touloun, Stockmann and Slimani, the species was not formally described until the publication of the PhD thesis of Oulaid Touloun in 2012. The type specimens of B. bonito and B. sabulicola are from the exact same locality, the Khnifiss lagoon, and both descriptions are almost identical. Touloun et al. (2016)[7], probably by mistake, indicated that the fifth metasomal segment and telson are darkened in B. bonito, but the trait does not appear in the accompanying figure.
