Reptile Database lumps this with A. sonorae https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_framework_relationships/14145
do people want to keep these separate or get in line with Reptile Database?

I have no opinion about this one. I say follow the RD, but let's see what the Cnemi lovers think?

Agreed w above. I lack familiarity w the species in that area.

Lumping seems to be the trend. In addition to the Reptile Database, the 2nd edition Field Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles in Arizona also lumps.

Sounds like we should go ahead and lump these two. No one has given any objection.
