Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This butterfly was in open pine forest, with regular shrubs of Ceanothus cordulatus. My ID is based on this habitat and likely host association. Host plants of other species (such as persius and propertius) were absent from this region and the greater vicinity. But if it is deemed to be identifiable, I more than understand. Personally I'm hoping there is a visual way to separate this species from E. persius, although it did seem to have a faint white margin which may rule that out. At this point I don't have much hope, though.

Coordinator notes: Yes, pacuvius, propertius and persius are all in that county. I've been in that county several days near Oakhurst in the nearby mountains including Fresno Dome yesterday-Ken Davenport
