Distribution and habitat
The species is known only from two collection sites about 2,000 m above sea level in the Sierra Madre Oriental, in the southeastern part of the state of Coahuila. It inhabits exposed sites of limestone rock.[1]
Conservation
The species is currently classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN due to its extremely restricted distribution, apparently low total population size, and being sought after by collectors.[1]
gollark: Those too, yes.
gollark: There's also whatever the bee prototypes do, the sheer insanity of whatever empty slots in arrays mean, the lack of maps with non-string keys until recently, the inconsistent APIs browsers have accreted over the years, no good module system until ES6ish, and the fact that important features such as any iterators whatsoever got added late and so are barely supported.
gollark: The main one is just extremely weak typing, I think.
gollark: This is apioform, there isn't even an error message?
gollark: (an unrelated thing failed)
