If you are referring to my post you misread it. The San Francisco subspecies is still recognized as such (and protected) but a couple of the subspecific names have been shuffled. The California Red-Sided and Oregon Red-Spotted were combined itno a single subspecies as well. This was recommended because the original type specimen for the San Franscisco subspecies was given the designation infernalis when first described. The California Red-Sided and the Oregon Red-Spotted are now collectively T s concinnus. The designation tetrataenia is no longer used for any of the T sirtalis subspecies. This new breakdown of subspecies is in academic use but it is not universally accepted as of yet and may not ever become so.
