Distribution: C California, S Arizona, and New Mexico ( USA) to Honduras and El Salvador.

Conservation: U.S. ESA – Endangered as L. curasoae yerbabuenae . IUCN 2003 – Not listed; not considered in IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001).

The name sanborni has been used widely in the literature for this species, but is a junior synonym. A neotype for yerbabuenae was designated by Arita and Humphrey (1988).
