type(s):
Holotype male (adult)
from U.S.A., California, San Diego County, 13 miles (21 km) NE Borrego Springs (500 ft.), 7
October 1967 (M. A. Cazier et al.). Depository: CAS, Type No. 11336.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Subsequent accounts:
Williams (1980):
"Diagnosis.- Adults to 35 mm long;
body entirely pale whitish yellow, without contrasting dark or dusky
markings. Ventrolateral keels of metasomal segments I-IV crenular,
ventromedian keels obsolete on segment I, lightly crenular on segments II and III; male pedipalps with short fingers, palms greatly swollen; pectine teeth 15-18 in males, 11 in females; space between ventromedian keels of metasoma lacking abundant, stout, reddish setae, segment III with fewer than 10 setae; pedipalp fixed finger distinctly shorter than palm.
Similar to P. luteolus but differs as follows: metasoma with dorsal keels not as strongly developed and not as crenulate in females; males with more granular pedipalp chela: ratio of pedipalp chela length to palm width usually 1.45 or less in adult males; male metasomal setae greatly reduced and inconspicuous."
Haradon (1984a):
"Diagnosis. - A species in the borregoensis group of subgenus
Paruroctonus differentiated by combination of: telotarsus III with three retrosuperior
setae (Fig. 14); basitarsus III with seven (5 + 2) superior setae (Figs. 7-8); dorsal
and dorsolateral metasomal setae I-IV inconspicuous in adult male, brachium with dsm and dim
internal setae (Fig. 1) and chelal internal setae inconspicuous in adult male.
Comparisons. - Table 2. Differs further from P. ammonastes
in having always 14 trichobothria on external surface of brachium. Differs
further from P. bajae in having less developed inferior denticles on cheliceral fixed digit; two
external medial macrosetae on distal 3/5 of humerus (Fig. 2), primarily granular ventral
and ventrolateral metasomal carinae I-IV in male. Differs further from P. luteolus
in having two retroinferior terminal setae on telotarsus I; two external medial macrosetae on
distal 3/5 of humerus; lacking msm internal macroseta on brachium."
distribution: NORTH
AMERICA. México (Baja California Norte,
Sonora), USA (southwestern Arizona, southeastern California). Colorado
Desert region.

notes:
Beutelspacher (2000) was unaware that the records of P. luteolus from San Felipe and Persebu,
Baja California (Norte) were referable to P. borregoensis.
Haradon (1984) recognized two subspecies. distinguished by different numbers
of pectinal teeth in both sexes.
