2 species in the genus in the U.S.
Identification
Similar to Neoconocephalus, but with only a slight notch under the base of the cone on the front of the head.
Range
mountains of southeastern Arizona
Season
Univoltine; calls as early as 1 June and as late as 5 August. Available evidence and comparison with other North American coneheads suggest that overwintering is by individuals that are in reproductive diapause when they molt to adults in late summer or fall.

Neoconocephalus triops is the only other conehead species known from Arizona.
