Endemic

[ Lectotype: CASC; ♀ Margarita and Magdalena Islands, Baja California Sur, Mexico]

It has been reported in BC and BCS ( Ayala et al. 1996). We only consider BCS state because to our knowledge there is only one record available publicly from Isla Santa Margarita, BCS. We reviewed syntypes, though the specimens are in poor condition in the CASC ( Timberlake 1968). See fig. 58.
