Figures

Figure 1. Geographical distribution of the buthid scorpion genus Odontobuthus plotted on topography of the Middle East. A, known locality records obtained from fieldwork and the literature. Circles with black or white dots indicate type localites of each species. B, localities of material used in molecular phylogenetic analysis (see Table 1 for details).

Figure 3. Lineardiscriminant analysis (LDA) of38 metricand fivemeristic variables among18 populationsofOdontobuthus. Conspecific populations in same colour.

Figure 4. Neighbour-joining phenogram generated from morphometric Mahalanobis distance matrix of 18 populations of Odontobuthus. Conspecific populations in same colour.

Figure 5. Fifty per cent majority rule consensus obtained by analysis of partial DNA sequences of mitochondrial COI gene from Odontobuthus with Bayesian inference (BI). Nodal support values above branches represent posterior probability values from BI and bootstrap values from maximum likelihood analyses, respectively. Letters A and B refer to clades also recovered by Azghadi et al. (2014).
