This species is apparently the only indigenous earwig of 

 the southwestern desert regions and is a difficult insect to lo- 

 cate. It has usually been found in dead Sahuaro or Giant 

 Cactus, Cereus gigantcns, but extends its range far beyond 

 that of the plant. In addition to the records given above and 

 those of the references, the species has only been recorded 

 from Isabel, Texas.
