is distributed mostly throughout the Chihuahuan Desert in southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, and West Texas; this includes the northern finger-like extensions of the desert along the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers into Socorro and Chaves Counties, New Mexico, respectively (Fig. 49A). This species is also known from adjacent sections of the High Plains and near canyon mouths of the Madrean sky islands. The species distribution model (Fig. 49B) predicts suitable habitat throughout most of Trans-Pecos Texas, the boot heel of New Mexico, and sections of southeastern Arizona, northeastern Sonora, and northwestern Chihuahua.

Specimens accompanied with precise georeferenced locality data have been collected at elevations ranging from 775 to 1620 meters in short grass prairie, desert grassland, and desert scrub communities; at higher elevations, habitats are sometimes associated with various oaks and junipers.

Burrows are typical of that for North American tarantulas (i.e., circular and generally covered by a thin veil of silk) and specimens can be readily collected by pouring a small amount of water into their burrows. Burrows are plugged during the winter months. The breeding period is late spring and early summer (June-August); adult males have been observed in large numbers at night along dirt roads in Graham County, Arizona and Eddy County, New Mexico.

For both males and females, certain morphometrics have potential to be useful, though due to the amounts of variation, small number of specimens, and the small differences between species, no others are claimed to be significant at this time (see Suppl. material 2).
