Bothriurus curvidigitusKraepelin, 1911: 91, 97-98, fig. 7
Current combination. Orobothriurus curvidigitus(Kraepelin, 1911)
Lectotype. ♂ ( Fig. 13 A-C, ZMH-A0000914), Peru, [Arequipa Province], Yura [ 16°07 '51"S, 71°36 '22"W], coll. 20.VI.1909, Museum Wiesbaden.
Paralectotype. Subadult ♀ (ZMH-A0000914), same data as lectotype.
Remarks. Kraepelin (1911)listed one male and one juvenile female from the ZMH collections. His description is not based on a specific specimen and Maury (1975b: 18-19) designated a holotype and an allotype a posteriori. As fixing a holotype after the original publication is not an accepted practice (ICZN 2018: article 73.1.3; see paragraph on Bothriurus burmeisteriKraepelin, 1894 above), the male is designated here as the lectotype, and the female is the paralectotype.
