Coordinator notes: BAMONA still has not turned perplexa back into dumetorum. I spent 2 1/2 hours looking for butterflies near the upper Kern River at Ant Canyon in Tulare County yesterday. The only 2 butterflies seen in this very dry year were 2 Callophrys dumetorum! The Pelham Catalogue has it back to dumetorum and did so many years ago.-Ken Davenport
