Names and Taxonomy
Taxonomy
Comments: Possibly a minor variant of M. oreophila, rather than a good species, per Jim Morefield, NVHP (May 1996). Correct spelling is CANDELARIAE per J. Morefield (named for the now abandoned mining town of Candelaria); Kartesz has corrected to that (Jan. 1998 review draft database).
