Description
Summary:Because of the scarcity of this species in collections, it is noteworthy that four additional specimens were recently collected in the Mexican state of Sonora, Rancho Madrono, Mt. Huachinera, 2,200 m. Three were collected 25 June 1981, and the other on 3 August 1982. The size range (18.2-19.5 mm long; 6.2-6.6 mm wide) is very close to that of the other known specimens. The new collection site is near an old cabin high in the Sierra Huachinera, a somewhat isolated range near the northwest end of the Sierra Madre Occidental. All four specimens were collected in the immediate vicinity of the cabin, under boards on the foundation. The plant association is pine-oak forest, mixed with juniper and madrone (Arbutus arizonica ).
