Endemic

[ Holotype: CASC; ♀ La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico; June 5, 1921]

This endemic species is native to the deserts of the BCP ( Sandhouse 1937). We examined 18 females collected at Sierra Cacachilas in the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland in October 2014 and November 2016 ( SDNHM), four males and three females collected in the Gulf Coast in June 1921 ( CASC), and female collected in Vizcaíno Desert in March 1960 ( EMEC). The BBPT collected one female in November 2020 in the Central Desert which is a new record for BC ( MABC). See fig. 166.
