Coordinator notes: I can't believe that one organization still calls bernardinos a battoides 30 years after Mattoni and I both published scientific papers and articles showing they are not!
But Euphilotes Blues are not often readily identifiable by their field marks and why I require specific locality information to ID most of them! Now, the El Segundo Blue is known to be a different species too, not a battoides or a bernardino.-Ken Davenport
