Distribution. This Holbrookia is very common in parts 

 of Arizona and has been recorded as taken at Dome Canyon, 

 Nevada, probably in error for Dome Canyon, Millard 

 County, Utah. Whether from Utah or Nevada, this record 

 needs confirmation. Yarrow has recorded a Holbrookia as 

 having been collected at Fort Tejon, California, but there 

 is not the slightest probability that this is correct. Mocquard 

 has reported, under the name Holbrookia $ropnqua y two 

 specimens from Santa Rosalia, Lower California, which may 

 belong to this subspecies. 



In Arizona, it has been collected in Coconino (Painted 

 Desert near Moencopie, Little Colorado River), Yavapai 

 (Fort Whipple, Prescott, Fort Verde), Maricopa (Cave 

 Creek), Navajo (Winslow, Oraibi), Apache (eight miles 

 N. W. of Adamana, Chin Lee), Pima (Tucson, Fort Lowell, 

 Sabino Canyon, Catalina Mountains, Sonora Road Canyon 

 in the Tucson Mountains, Gija River, Sawmill Canyon in 

 the Santa Rita Mountains, Mesa near the Baboquivari Moun-

 Santa Cruz (Camp Crittenden, Calabasas, Fort Buchanan,
