Coordinator notes: Mary, were these moist woods? My impression is that this looks like a female pylades, but diversus does occur in that county and diversus is a species I am familiar with in Madera and Mariposa Counties outside Yosemite National Park in the Fish Camp, Sugar Pine and Fresno Dome Rd. areas. Without an actual specimen to examine, I'm calling it pylades....Ken Davenport
