These include the first records for Pinal County and extend therange 120 km N from the Whetstone Mts., Cochise County (Turneret al. 2003. Southwest. Nat. 48:347–355) and 40 km NW fromAravaipa Creek and the Bonita grasslands, Graham Co. (Nickersonand Mays 1970. Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci. 72:492–505). The scat-tering of these records along a 90 km stretch of the lower SanPedro River north to the Gila River floodplain suggests that thepopulations found in this riparian corridor within the SonoranDesert are native rather than introduced (released captives).
