New records. First record for Ojinaga Municipality: re- cently metamorphosed individual found along Arroyo El Almagre (29.05669° N, 104.19809° W; WGS84), 21 October 2016, Mark W. Herr, Tomas Hernandez, Sean Graham, and Noah Fields (SRSU-D 60).

First record for Manuel Benavides Municipality: several individuals found in Arroyo Salvador in foothills of Sierra Rica (29.13407° N, 104.14945° W; WGS84) 21 October 2016. Sean Graham, Mark W. Herr, Tomas Hernandez, and Noah Fields (SRSU-D 62).

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).
