Coordinator notes: Actually, I believe dammersi is a species level blue, elevated to species in my recent publication published by Colorado State University updating Emmel & Emmel's 1973 Southern California book. Baomona has not kept up with names changes. The change was backed by Paul Opler, John Emmel and Gordon Pratt, the latter if I remember right-Ken Davenport
