REMARK

The specimens from Baja California Sur and Nayarit were recorded as Benedenia girellae , but this species was considered as synonym of N. melleni by Whittington & Horton (1996). The material from Mazatlán appears as Neobenedenia sp. in Whittington et al. (2004).

NOTE

The record of this species in Baja California Sur (Bravo-Hollis 1957) was referred to Baja California in the checklist of Kohn et al. (2006).
