ID Status: Not flagged for specimen examination. By default we accept donor specimen determinations (after synonymization to our taxonomy). If georeferenced to TX this record has been considered in spatial context with other occurences of this species and accepted as correct.
ID Comments: NA
Georef Remark: Original georeference point was moved further downstream of creek after species data was determined. Notes show 'Way too far up the dry draw' for original coordinates. Extent still covers entire creek within Val Verde County.
