Distribution
editThis species was described from Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico. It has been reported from there south to Bahía de los Ángeles.[6] It is thought to be endemic to the northern part of the Gulf of California.[2] Specimens from Baja California have been sequenced for the 16S ribosomal RNA, Histone H3 and CO1 genes.[7][3]
