Davis 21
1946
E. Side of U.S. 399, 4.7 mi. S. of San Luis
Obispo Co. Line, Santa Barbara Co., Calif.
May 11, 1946
We found them quite common beneath
dead yucca plants, and between us
collected a series of 15 in little less
than an hour. These specimens are
all in catalog of Robert C. Stebbins.
This station extends the range of X.
vigilis 30+ mi. to the west; the
westernmost point to this date be-
ing Fraser Park, Kern Co., Calif. We
turned off 399, .5 mi. E of its junction
with Hwy 166, driving N.W. on a gra-
ded road 4+ mi. to Simmler. West
past Soda Lake. Country quite bar-
ren; only lizards noted were tor-
toises and Rattlesnakes. Then drove
east on Hwy 178 to Santa Maria,
San Luis Obispo Co., Calif.; stopping
once in a Blue Oak-Digger Pine
canyon, where we hunted Eusodia
& found none. Then drove about & 8
mi. N. on Hwy 101 toward Atascas-
dero, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif.,
at which point we turned off
the main road & camped for the
night.
