Suleyman Demir notes:
ssp. runyonii grows in an isolated area along the lower course of Rio Grande on sea-level.
It differs by its much smaller measurements, which reach only about half of ssp.macromeris and show typical Macromeris characteristics which are unique within the genus, eg.the tubercle-grooves are never complete, they reach half of the tubercle-length only or less, (Macromeris areole type).
