Hottentotta
''Hottentotta'' is a genus of scorpion belonging to the family Buthidae. It is distributed widely across Africa. Species also occur in the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula, southeastern Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Cape Verde Islands, Slovenia (rarely) and Sri Lanka (introduced). ==Taxonomy== The genus was introduced in 1908 by A. A. Birula, originally as a subgenus of the genus ''Buthus''. It was elevated to genus rank by F. Werner in 1934. ''Buthotus'' Vachon, 1949 is an often used but outdated synonym of ''Hottentotta''.〔 Some authors subdivided the genus into three subgenera, ''Hottentotta (Hottentotta)'', ''Hottentotta (Balfourianus)'' Vachon, 1979, and ''Hottentotta (Deccanobuthus)'' Lourenço, 2000. The latest taxonomic reviews of this genus by F. Kovařík〔 reject this subdivision and recognizes a single, undivided genus ''Hottentotta''. The differences separating the closely related genus ''Mesobuthus'' from ''Hottentotta'' are very subtle and species have been often been misassigned among the two genera.〔
