Haroun Abidi and co-workers have described a new species of Buthus Leach, 1815 (Buthidae) from the coastal region of El-Tarf, in the north-eastern range of Algeria.
Buthus goyffoni Abidi, Sadine & Lourenco, 2021
A revised diagnosis of Buthus paris (C. L. Koch, 1839) is also given.
Abstract:
One more new species of Buthus is described from the coastal region of El-Tarf, in the north-eastern range of Algeria. This new species may represent a possible vicariant element of Buthus paris (C. L. Koch, 1839), a species equally known from the north of Algeria, but inhabiting much higher altitudes in the coastal massifs. The number of confirmed species of Buthus in Algeria is raised to nine.
