Neobuthus factorio is a species of scorpion from the family Buthidae
found in Somalia.

Taxonomy[edit]

Specimens of N. factorio may have been collected and temporarily
categorized as Neobuthus ferrugineus since 2012.^[1] They were
defined as a separate species once a larger number of samples could
be collected between 2016-2018. The species was named after Factorio,
a video game created by the son of one of the researchers who
described the species.^[1]^[2]

Description[edit]

The males are much smaller in size, being an average of 17-19 mm in
length, while females are 24-27 mm. The pedipalps are relatively
slender, with a matte, finely granulated texture in males, and smooth
and glossy on females. The body's base colour is of a pale yellow,
with dark patterns in the metasoma, pedipalps and legs.^[1]

Distribution[edit]

N. factorio can be found in Somalia, on rocky areas of semi-desert,
occasionally near river beds. The localities of Neobuthus factorio
are near to the localities of Neobuthus berberensis.^[1]
