This particular species of sucker can actually be found in a variety of places within the Southwest, ranging from the Yaqui River in Mexico, to the Cajon Bonito south of Douglas. In Arizona, it can be found anywhere within the systems of Cochise County and San Bernardino Creek. Since, 1978, populations have decreased drastically with little recovery. They have completely disappeared from San Bernardino Creek, and The Endangered Species Act is currently trying to protect those in Cochise County. Most have been extirpated since 1968.
