Biology:Aegaeobuthus
From HandWiki
Aegaeobuthus is a genus of scorpion in the family Buthidae.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus was described by Kovařík (2019) to accommodate an eastern Mediterranean lineage previously included in Mesobuthus. It was established in order to restore monophyly after morphological analysis showed clear differences from Mesobuthus sensu stricto. Its type species is Buthus gibbosus Brullé, 1832.[2]
Species
Currently there are four extant species in the genus:
- Aegaeobuthus cyprius (Gantenbein & Kropf, 2000)
- Aegaeobuthus gallianoi (Ythier, 2018)
- Aegaeobuthus gibbosus (Brulle, 1832)
- Aegaeobuthus nigrocinctus (Ehrenberg, 1828)
- Subspecies Aegaeobuthus nigrocinctus bishri (Lourenco, 2020)
