Type material.

1 M holotype (ZMH N° A36/05), S.W. of Gaoual (approx. 11.71°, -13.22°), Boké, Guinea. Paratypes: 1 F (ZMH N° A37/05), same locality; 1 M, 1 F (MNHN), Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal.

Distribution.

this species is known from Guinea and Senegal,

Remarks.

Given the geographical proximity, it is possible that the Buthus material reported to have been found in Guinea-Bissau might very well correspond to this species. Unfortunately the Guinea-Bissau material was lost in a fire, and hence only newly collected material could confirm this possibility.
