I have seen C. nebrius in the vicinity of Ajo, Arizona in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. In July, 2003 Chris Gruenwald and I found an adult male in the vicinity of the Rio Yaqui just N of Sahuaripa, Sonora. It was basking on a large rock in an open area above the bridge.

This species is widespread and common where it occurs, and does not need special protection.
