Callophrys affinis

Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident

Coordinator notes: Callophrys sheridanii is not recorded in White Pine County and this is not interrupta, which is well marked on the hindwing with a row of white spots in most individuals. This also has the affinis wing shape. I have a good series of interrupta in my collection from Mono County, California and we don't have affinis in this state. So my bias is you have the better find!-I have very few affinis! Ken Davenport
