Distribution: Known only from type locality. 



Comment: Savage, Contr. Sci. Los Angeles Co. Mus., 7I, I563, 32, indicated that this taxon and 

 ret i cula t urn Taylor were "members of the flay i macula turn group", but he omitted both names 

 from his summary classification on p. 35- Wermuth, Das Tierreich, 80, 1565» l?^, indicated 

 both taxa as subspecies of f lav imaculatum , but with a question marl< to indicate doubt as 

 to the legitimacy of his action. Savage's intent is not clear, and we are most dubious 

 as to the proper placement of the two taxa, but we follow Wermuth and retain the query.
