second/third thoughts: O. ligneus??
not known from CA, but those things are easily spread by man...
compare; in O. cribricollis the pronotum is coarsely punctate rather than granulate... i so hope you saved the specimen!

Yes, the specimen is still at CSUN -
I'll check it out when I have time, & will take a close-up of the pronotum.
Update Aug. 18, '11: took a look at the specimen today, and its clearly punctate, thus O. cribricollis.
I've looked at some other specimens, including some that seem to be cribricollis. Will post some photos later.

not ovatus
because it lacks spines on the femora and confluent granukles on the pronotum.

Thanks, Boris -
Though I've kept away from the page, I had already excluded ovatus. I do have the specimen & will eventually get an ID, probably with Jim Hogue's help.
