Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: female. guessing at species ID because there were about 6 or 7 other males flying around in the 2 hours I was out. photos of them also. pretty big blue (larger than an Acmon Blue), couldn't get a good angle on underwing. No other species of Blue seen at location . both photos are of same individual

Coordinator notes: Normally, I wouldn't accept this photo because I can't see the underside marks, but it is too early for Boisduval's Blue so I will. Congratulations for joining the Lepidopterists' Society. I've been working on a publication updating southern California butterflies since Emmel & Emmel's 1973 book.-Ken Davenport
