ZooBank: http://zoobank.org/8E5ECF1D-D9E0-463A-8F5F-DF2C6071127D Introduction Methods Since the unexpected description by Lourenço & Vachon in Illustrations and measurements were made with the aid of a 2004 of two new species of Buthus from the Iberian Motic SMZ-1713 stereo-microscope with an ocular Peninsula (B. ibericus and B. montanus from Spain), another micrometer, together with a digital camera Tucsen HD Lite, new species was described by Rossi in 2012 (B. elongatus a Canon EOS 7D camera and a Wacom Intuos drawing from Spain), then six new species by Teruel & Turiel in tablet. Map was made using topographic-map.com and 2020 (B. alacanti, B. baeticus, B. delafuentei, B. Adobe Photoshop software. Measurements follow Stahnke garcialorcai, B. manchego and B. serrano from Spain) and (1970) and are given in mm. Trichobothrial notations follow one new species by Lourenço in 2021 (B. lusitanus from Vachon (1974) and morphological terminology mostly Portugal). Finally, Teruel & Turiel (2021) recently follows Vachon (1952) and Hjelle (1990). Specimens studied revalidated two species described by C. L.

Une nouvelle espèce appartenant au genre Buthus est décrite sur la base d’un mâle et d’une femelle collectés au Cap Saint-Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente), dans la région de l’Algarve, au sud du Portugal. Ce nouveau taxon représente la 3ème espèce de Buthus décrite pour le Portugal et la 14ème décrite pour la péninsule Ibérique. A la lumière d’études récentes sur le genre Buthus dans la péninsule Ibérique (Teruel & Turiel, 2020, 2021; Lourenço, 2021) et en considérant la distribution géographique de la nouvelle espèce par rapport aux espèces géographiquement proches et leur habitats respectifs, les spécimens collectés dans l’Algarve précédemment associés à B. ibericus (Lourenço & Vachon, 2004; Teruel, 2005) sont dorénavant considérés comme appartenant à la nouvelle espèce décrite dans cet article.
