From Stebbins (1985) Field Guide
In 1985, based on biochemical data, populations scattered through the Tehachapi Mountains to Fort Tejon, Kern County, were only tentatively assigned to Batrachoseps stebbinsi. However, I have yet to hear more about this situation. In Stebbins new 2003 field guide he does not mention this situation, does this mean that the southern population of this salamander are actually B. stebbinsi? Or is there still a debate whether there could be two species of Tehachapi Slender Salamanders?
