Type material
1 F (in bad conditions) (ZMB N° 146), Al Luhayyah (as Lohaie), Yemen.
Distribution
Known only from the type locality.
Remarks
Fet and Lowe (2000)[8] considered the locality as probably wrong since at that time no other Buthus had been collected again in Yemen. However, Lourenço's (2008)[7] Buthus yemenensis revalidated Ehrenberg species’ by providing concrete proof for the existence of Buthus species in this country. Doubst about B. intermedius type locality were the only evidence given by Kovařík (2006)[3] for its synonimization with Buthus intumescens (Ehrenberg in Hemprich and Ehrenberg 1829[1]).
