|discussion=<p>Tetrapteron palmeri has a disjunct distribution, occurring in four distinct areas: Arizona, represented only by the type specimens collected in the Colorado River valley in 1876; near Harper and Vale, Malheur County, Oregon; north of Winnemucca, Humboldt County, and Empire City, Ormsby County, Nevada; in California it is fairly common from southern Inyo County to the southwestern border of the Mojave Desert, west to the vicinity of Tejon Pass and southeastern San Luis Obispo County in the inner South Coast Ranges, and also east of Jacumba on the road to Mountain Springs in San Diego County.</p>
