Thanks Jonathan. The specimen was from the desert side of the mountains in SD county, so I believe it should be called Hypsiglena chlorophaea deserticola.

Under current nomenclature, should this be Hypsiglena ochrorhyncha klauberi?

p.s. - I marked it because I just noticed that H.o. klauberi is considered a sensitive species by CA DF&G, so it'd be important to get these listed under the correct SSAR name.
