Panoquina in Nevada?

[MJS323]

Mark;
   The now endangered skipper from alkaline areas of Nevada is Pseucopaeodes
eunus obscura.  This was described from a once common location near the Carson
City airport in western Nevada.  This habitat is now destroyed due to
development and alteration of the water table needed for the saltgrass, etc. 
Populations are apparently known near Honey Lake in Lassen Co., CA and Washoe
Co., NV.  The other subspecies of P. eunus, which is found throughout the Great
Basin and Mojave Desert in appropriate habitat, are not under this protection.
