Ironodes californicus

endemic to a single nation

United States

Origin: Native

Regularity: Regularly occurring

Currently: Present

Confidence: Confident

Type of Residency: Year-round

Global Range: (20,000-200,000 square km (about 8000-80,000 square miles)) It has been recorded only from the San Gabriel Mountains, and is fairly widespread in California. It was also recently recorded from Asotin, Clallam, Clark, Columbia, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Okanogan, Whitman, and Yakima Cos., Washington (Meyer and McCafferty, 2007) as well as Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Douglas, Curry, Hood River, Jackson, Jefferson, Lane, Multnomah, and Union Cos. (Meyer and McCafferty, 2007).

Comments: No other ecological data for this species exist at this time (Traver, 1935).

Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.

Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.

Estimated Number of Occurrences: 21 - 300

Comments: In Oregon, it occurs in Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Douglas, Curry, Hood River, Jackson, Jefferson, Lane, Multnomah, and Union Cos. (Meyer and McCafferty, 2007). In California, it occurs in Alameda, Alpine, Amadro, Butte, Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Humboldt, Inyo, Kern, Lake, Los Angeles, Madera, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Modoc, Mono, Monterey, Napa, Nevada, Plumas, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Tehama, Trinity, Tulare, Tuolumne, and Yuba Cos. (Meyer and McCafferty, 2008).
