Seed Bug - Xanthochilus saturnius

Seed Bug - Xanthochilus saturnius
San Ramon, Contra Costa County, California, USA
January 9, 2006
The leftmost insect appears to be a Seed Bug, Lygaeidae, which is the one I'm really interested in. The rightmost one looks like a family Lepismatidae. Can anyone give me a species on either of them?

Moved
Moved from Rhyparochromus.

We found an image of Rhyparochromus
That looks quite similar here and a 1999 article at USDA that says the genus has been found in California. And an abstract from Ent Soc of Wash. Haven't found a local image yet.

Likely Eremocoris
