Coordinator notes: Your suggested ID is correct...shown as Mexicana above (BAMONA has not updated their species list) but there is more...genetics suggests that the Rocky Mountain populations are not mexicana or nevada, but a separate species-level taxon dobra; mexicana is a sibling species not found in the U.S. (only south of the border in Mexico) and nevada is also a distinct species-level taxon found in the Sierra of California.
