Note.

Some authors, including Pearson et al. (2006: 107, 108), consider the forms inyo and moapana as distinct subspecies: the first one is confined to the Owens Valley of interior central California and adjacent Nevada and the second one is found in east-central Nevada and adjacent Utah. Freitag (1999: 57) and Erwin and Pearson (2008: 194) listed the lassenica form as a distinct subspecies and recorded it from “California,” “Nevada,” “Utah,” and “Arizona.”
