Comments.

Paravilla separata is present mainly in the eastern half of the USA, and southeastern Canada. This record in Coahuila represents the southern extreme of the distribution of this species, and is the first in Mexico. It may also be present in Tamaulipas and Nuevo León but doubtfully in the northwest of Mexico.
