No common name. This species
No common name. This species is formerly known as M. gibbosus anatolicus , but DNA analysis showed that this an unique species, probably endemic for Cyprus.
Distribution:
Cyprus (Trodos area, western and southwestern Cyprus in the following locations: Polis Chrysochou, Lemona Village (Paphos area), Akrotiri, Dhekelia and Kato Pyrgos) and also one finding in a park in Nicosia. M. cyprius seems to be quite common in parts of Cyrpus) Also some locations in occupied northern Cyprus.
Habitat:
Arid/semi-arid habitats with little or no vegetation. Moderate to limited humidity. Don't dig burrows, but use natural space/burrows under stones and other objects. In Northwestern areas it seems that this species might enter gardens and accidently houses.
Venom:
No medical data available in literature, but probably moderate venomous. Case reports I have gotten for 6-7 patients seems to indicate local effects only, but there is much pain involved in some of the cases.
