Abstract
We found a new population of Ensatina klauberi in San Quintín volcanic field, Baja California. It represents the first coastal population of this species. This record extends the species range ca. 71 km southwest of the southernmost record of E. klauberi in the Sierra San Pedro Mártir and represents the first population discovered outside of coniferous and pine-oak woodlands.
