Distribution: SC Arizona and SW New Mexico ( USA) south to Puebla and Veracruz ( Mexico).

Conservation: IUCN – Lowered Risk (nt) as T. u. emotus, otherwise Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Megascapheus . Hybridization with bottae reported in Patagonia Mtns of S Arizona by Patton and Dingman (1968), Patton (1973), and Hoffmeister (1969, 1986). Considered a species separate from bottae by these authors and by Anderson (1966, 1972). Hall (1981:469) included baileyi, bottae , and townsendii in this species based on his view of the hybridization data in Hoffmeister (1969), Patton (1973), and Thaeler (1968 b); he reported intergradation between umbrinus and bottae in Nuevo Leon ( Mexico), which has not been verified by genetic analyses. Hafner et al. (1987) examined phylogenetic relationships among geographic units of umbrinus . Revised, in part, by Nelson and Goldman (1934 b), Anderson (1972; for Chihuahua), and Castro-Campillo and Ramírez-Pulido (2000; for C Mexico).
