Name
Buthus pusillus Lourenço, 2013 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Buthus pusillus: Lourenço 2013[1]: 64–67, fig. 1–9; Lourenço and Sadine 2016[2]: 14; Rossi, Tropea and Yağmur 2013: 5, 7.
Type material
1 M holotype (ZMH N° A11/13), Tizi Oumalou (36.5102°, 4.3390°), Tizi Ouzou Province, Djurdjura Mountains, Algeria. Paratype: 1 M juv. (ZMH N° A12/13), same location.
Distribution
known only from the type locality.
Remarks
The locality we present here corresponds to the coordinates given in the paper, although these do not agree with the elevation also reported in the paper: 2150 m a.s.l. This is very close to the maximum altitude of the highest peaks of the Djurdjura Mountains, and much higher than the 935 m a.s.l. of Tizi Oumalou.
