Remarks.
There are adjacent records for
H. arenicolor
in
Presidio County,
Texas
(
Dixon 2013
), however, records for
H. arenicolor
are surprisingly absent from eastern
Chihuahua
. These records extend this species’ range in the state some
200 km
east from the nearest populations in the Municipality of
Chihuahua
(
Lemos-Espinal and Smith 2007
).
