Several known populations of worm salamanders have received names. As of tomorrow [from my perspective], Batrachoseps "relictus" from north of the Kern River are Batrachoseps altasierrae.
Breckenridge mountain specimens are B.relictus, a species apparently extinct at the type locality.
Upper Kern Canyon salamanders are now B.bramei.

At present, only the abstract/title page is available free:
