Southeastern Colorado (El Paso, Fremont, Huerfano, Las Animas and Pueblo counties) and adjacent New Mexico (Union County, Emery Gap to Branson, CO, presumably along CO-389) (Rollins & Shaw 1973).

Habitat

Shale bluffs, limy hillsides, gypseous knolls and ravines, and various calcareous substrates at 5,000-7,500 feet (Rollins 1993).

Conservation Considerations

Move from L3 to L4 (Rare in New Mexico, but apparently common within its range in Colorado).
