Notes
This species was commonly encountered on the plateau immediately southwest of MDRS. Previously reported for the nearby San Rafael Swell as
Erioneuron pulchellum
(Kunth) Tateoka (
Harris 1983
), recent work has placed this species in the monotypic genus
Dasyochloa
(
Caro 1981
,
Valdes-Reyna
2003
).
