Distribution.

this species seems to be widely distributed across the western portion of the Anti-Atlas, although some misidentifications with Buthus parroti cannot be excluded.

Remarks.

According to ICZN article 45.5, Vachon’s (1949) infrasubspecific name is unavailable. Although the name was published before 1961, it was only used as infrasubspecific by all subsequent authors.
