Coordinator notes: Chris: This is a great record, how close to the coast? This is subspecies sagiittigera, believed to be extinct until about 2006 when I rediscovered it in Santa Barbara County. It is also rediscovered in a few places in LA County. Frazier Park populations are blend zone populations with ssp. excubitus.-Ken Davenport
