Species range
This species has been reported in Utah only from Zion National Park, where it was collected 24 September 1930 (Chamberlin and Berry 1930), presumably in Washington County, although parts of the park extend into Kane and Iron counties.
Habitat
No habitat information for this species in Utah has been reported. (Pilsbry [1948], discussing this species in New Mexico and Arizona, commented: "Chiefly in broken country and foothills, but up to about 8,000 ft. in some places.") It is likely that, in Utah, the species is found in leaf litter in mesic canyons and other riparian areas.
Threats or limiting factors
Although threats to this species in Utah are completely unknown, it is believed that the species is not very threatened in this state.
