McKinley County (Gehlbach 1965. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 116 :,7505]:243-332), the surviving specimen of which was poorly preserved and unidentifiable by Gehlbach (op. cir.). This new Cibola County locality is ca. 56 km SE of Nutria, and more or less contiguous upper elevation forested habitats associated with the Zuni Mountains connect them, suggesting the species may be more widespread in the region. However, this northern region is separated from populations to the south by large areas of lower elevation woodland,<savanna,and grassland habitats (Dick-Peddie 1993. New Mexieo Vegetation, Past Present, and Future. University of Yew Mexico Press, Albuquerque. 244 pp.). Submitted by A. J . MONATESTI (e-mail: [email protected]), TREVOR B.
