Coordinator notes: There are no confirmed records using male genitalia or DNA that the Common Checkered Skipper in Los Angeles County but both can occur in Kern, Santa Barbara, SLO and Inyo Counties but the two are not separable from field marks. I had specimens from those other 4 counties confirmed by John F. Emmel and Paul Opler, unfortunately, both died recently.-Ken Davenport
