Material examined: MHNG, WBWC; 4 specimens; Arizona, Cochise Co. Huachuca Mtns. , Carr Cyn. below Carr house, 31.4447°N, 110.2864°W, Aug. 15-31, 2018. – MHNG, WBWC; 14 specimens; Arizona, Cochise Co. Huachuca Mts. , 0.8 rd. mi. SW Reef, 31.4238°N, 110.2991°W, July 4 - 24, 2019. GoogleMaps – MHNG; 1 specimen; Arizona, Pima Co., 0.3 km W Hwy 83 on Gardner Cyn. Rd., 31.7367°N, 110.6663°W, 4722 ft., July 5 - Aug. 6, 2019.

Remarks: This species was based on a single specimen from Texas without specified collecting method. While its aedeagus is distinctive, the elytral punctation considered by Löbl & Stephan (1993) as diagnostic, is too variable and dissection of aedeagus is required to confirm its species identity. The examined specimens are 1.52-1.68 mm long, somewhat smaller than the holotype.
