 San Felipe Bay, and it is probable that the whole north- 

 eastern portion of the peninsula is included in its range.

 is found on rocks or boulders in the hills. In New Mexico 

 and western Texas it seems to descend to lower levels and 

 often is found on the plains, as is the eastern subspecies
