Since there are no recent observations of this species outside the northern Gulf of California, two expeditions were done in search of this species in May and July 1996. The records from the Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas at La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, were also revised. The results of this study indicate that this species is restricted to the Biosphere Reserve of the Northern Gulf of California and the delta of the Colorado River. Alternatives are analyzed that explain the discrepancy between the observed and reported distributions. It is concluded that the reports of geographical distribution were based on a confusion of species between Chione fluctifraga and C. cortezi. Chione cortezi es una especie de bivalvo poco conocida que ha sido reportada con una distribución que incluye el Golfo de California hasta la Bahía Magdalena en la costa oeste de Baja California. Debido a que no se tienen observaciones recientes de la especie fuera del extremo norte del Golfo de California, se realizaron dos expediciones de búsqueda de ejemplares de esta especie en mayo y julio de 1996. Se revisaron, además, los registros del Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas en La Paz, Baja California Sur, México. Los resultados de este estudio indican que esta especie está restringida a la Reserva de la Biosfera del Alto Golfo de California y el delta del Río Colorado. Se analizan alternatives que explican la discrepancia entre la distribución reportada y la encontrada. Se llega a la conclusión de que los reportes de distribución geográfica fueron basados en una confusión de especies entre Chione fluctifraga y C. cortezi.
