Material examined.
CHU: Jul (1 M); EEO: Jul (2 F, 2 M), Oct (1 F, 3 M).
Known Nearctic records.
Mexico (Baja California, Baja California Sur, Coahuila); USA (Arizona, California, Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas).
Comments.
In Mexico Toxophora maxima was only known from Baja California Peninsula and now Coahuila. This apparent gap in its distribution is probably due to undersampling. Sampling of the intermediate zones is necessary to know if these populations form a continuous unit as they do in the southern states of USA.
