Thanks Bill
Might this be Okanagana catalina? According to the maps provided in Sanborn and Phillips (2013) it is endemic to Catalina Island. The BOLD specimens look like a good match too, though I'm not an expert. (O. vanduzeei is the only other species for which these maps suggest also occurs on the island, but that species looks very different to me)

 
Yes. O. catalina/hirsuta Def
Yes. O. catalina/hirsuta
