Ranging through northern Arizona, and New Mexico, with outliers in eastern Utah and southwestern Colorado. Found on dune sands stabilized by a variety of dominant brush types. Some habitat in Utah has been lost due to inundation of riparian areas. Abundance not known.
Range Extent Comments
Southeastern Utah (Grand and San Juan Counties (Welsh et al. 1993). Localized in southwestern Colorado (Weber 1987). Northern to southwestern New Mexico (Martin and Hutchins 1980). Northern Arizona (Apache to Coconino Counties (Kearney and Peebles 1951).
