Coordinator notes: Actually, Callophrys loki is a species level taxon which for some reason was not listed as a species when I tried to pull up that name. In the past loki has been recognized as a gryneus or a siva-Ken Davenport The name gryneus is also incorrect as my original comment showed. The Callophrys list I must select from is so long I think it changed gryneus to eryphon. Technology causes me lots of grief as did the adds blocking my editing efforts, but thanks for spotting the error, it certainly is not a Western Pine Elfin. I will attempt to get Bamona to list loki as a species which scientists recognize though NABA may not.-Ken Davenport
