Variation in characters correlated with substratum specialization: slenderness of legs (bar plots show range of variation of leg III patella L/D), and development of basitarsal bristle combs and tibial spurs. Psammophilous species (Picobuthus spp.) have more slender legs with bristle combs, without tibial spurs; lapidicolous species (Microbuthus gardneri, M. kristensenorum) have more slender legs without bristle combs, with tibial spurs; the fossorial Femtobuthus shutuae has stout legs with bristle combs, and reduced tibial spurs. 122. Scatter plot of variation in slenderness of legs and metasoma V (leg III patella L/D vs. metasoma V L/D). Metasoma V is more slender in the psammophilous Picobuthus, and more stout in the lapidicolous Microbuthus, reflecting development of a heavily sclerotized telson sheath. 123. Scatter plot of variation in telson L/D and carapace L/W. The telson is deeper in M. gardneri and Femtobuthus, and longer in M. kristensenorum and Picobuthus, the carapace more elongated in Picobuthus, and more trapezoidal in Microbuthus and Femtobuthus. 124. Scatter plot of variation in slenderness of anterior metasoma and pedipalp (metasoma II L/W vs. pedipalp patella L/W). The anterior metasoma is more stout in Microbuthus and Femtobuthus, and more slender in Picobuthus, the pedipalp relatively more stout in Femtobuthus and Picobuthus, and more slender in Microbuthus.
