Occurrence Notes
Per Johnson 2002, this species is moderately common in areas near the edges of the dunes and surrounding desert. Bill Reid and Jerry Johnson observed an individual near Walters Ranch in 1978. It probably occasionally wanders into the dune areas in places that have trees and other vegetation.; Data Source: Johnson 2002, Bibkey 585125
