Hottentotta and Buthacus

Both genera are widespread in western Palearctic arid zone, in addition, a number of species of the diverse genus Hottentotta are also commonly found further south in the Afrotropical region in various ecological conditions. It remains to be seen whether the genus Hottentotta as accepted now is monophyletic. Buthacus includes eight psammophile species from North Africa and Middle East.
