DISTRIBUTION.

Numbers in parentheses after each geographic unit are the number of distinct collection events in the database for that unit. For exotic species generally only countries are listed for localities outside the New World. For further information on published sources of distribution, check the REFERENCES section.

Distribution Comments.  Found in the southern Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Madre Occidental of northwestern Mexico, and interior and coastal ranges of California.

• North America (91)
  (2): no state / prov. data (2); México (3): Durango (1), Sonora (2); United States (86): no state / prov. data (5), Arizona (39), California (39), New Mexico (1), Oregon (1), Texas (1);

HOSTS

Numbers in parentheses after each host family, genus, or collection method are the number of distinct collection events in the database for that host or method.

Host Comments.  Wood (1982) cites Juniperus and Thuja as hosts without any locality information. These ere probably not significant hosts. The latter genus does not occur naturally within the range of this species. In the University of Arizona collection is a series from Phoenix, Arizona with a host label of 'red cedar, cypress, and arborvitae'. Clearly these specimens were from an urban setting, possibly a nursery and have little significance for this species in its natural range.

• No host information (64);
• Cupressaceae (27) Cupressocyparis (2): lawsoniana (1), leylandi (1); Cupressus (21): arizonica (4), arizonicus (5), forbesei (2), forbsei (1), glabra (1), lindleyi (1), macrocarpa (2), macrocarpus (1), sargentii (1), sp. (3); Juniperus (1): sp. (1); Thuja (3): sp. (3);

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
