Ordo: Scorpiones
Familia: Buthidae
Genus: Buthus
Name
Buthus lourencoi Rossi, Tropea & Yağmur, 2013 – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
- Buthus lourencoi: Rossi et al. 2013[1]: 2–3, fig. 3–10.
- Buthus occitanus (MIS): Kovařík and Whitman 2005 (part): 106.
Type material
1 adult F holotype (MZUF N° 783), Mellaha (approx. 32.896°, 13.285°), Tripoli, Libya
Distribution
known only from the type locality.
Remarks
The type locality is now part of the large city of Tripoli. It is fairly unlikely that the species still occur within the boundaries of the city given the level of urban development. However, Mellaha, which was originally a military airport, is now the Mitiga International Airport, where large patches of unconstructed ground that may be suitable fot the species still exist.
