About Buthacus Arenicola Scorpion:

Scorpions of the genus ButhacusBirula, 1908 (Buthidae C.L. Koch, 1837), commonly known as “sand scorpions,” are widespread in the sandy deserts of the Palearctic, from West Africa to India.

Although many new species of Buthacus were described in recent years, no modern revision exists for the genus and the limits of many infrageneric taxa remain unclear.

The present contribution addresses the species of Buthacus recorded from the Levant, defined here as the region of the Middle East including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, the Palestinian territories, and the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt). Prior to this study, five species and subspecies, including several synonyms, were recognized from the region.

Based on extensive new collections, a reassessment of the morphology (including multivariate statistical analysis), and a phylogenetic analysis of morphological and DNA sequence data, published elsewhere, seven species of Buthacus are now recognized from the Levant, raising the number of species in the genus to 30.

Description:
Carapace, tergites, metasomal segments and telson vesicle are yellowish to slightly reddish yellow with eyes surrounded in black and without spotting.

Aculeus is yellowish basally and gradually becoming reddish towards the tip.

Pedipalps are yellowish with finger dentate margin granular rows reddish.

Ventral surface, sternites and legs are uniform pale yellowish. Chelicerae yellowish with reddish teeth.
