Location...
A quick poke around the Internet for "Argus Mountains" seems to reveal the most hits for the mountain range in Inyo County, California. (Here's a reference.) Does this seem like the likely location source for the collection of this specimen?

Your guess
is as good as mine, species was confirmed, but that is the only data on the collection tag, and the only specimen I had to image..perhaps someone else knows a range for this species.
