Western record for this species
Hello. Trying to work on identifying a specimen I have. Published range on this species does not include western US. The two western species are reported to be (1):
jScolopocryptops gracilis and
Scolopocryptops spinicaudus

I'm new to this whole group. Seems to me that keying species is quite difficult. I know published ranges can be in error, but this is certainly an outlier.
