Scolopocryptops spinicaudus
Based on the range and the hair pattern on the antenna. This photo beautifully shows one of the most important characters for identifying Scolopocryptops species: note how the first two segments are not as hairy, then the rest are really hairy. In gracilis, the other western species, the hairiness starts on the second segment.
