Distribution.

This subspecies, the "Cimarron Tiger Beetle", is known from north and central Colorado (Kippenhan 1994: 44-45), much of New Mexico (Acciavatti et al. 1980: 30), and southeastern Arizona (Bertholf 1983: 22) [see Pearson et al. 2006: Map 28]. The records from northern (Tanner 1929a: 79) and southwestern (Horn 1926: 266) Utah need confirmation.
