Neat pair...
hope we work out what these are soon. I'm at a loss for what Hyperaspis they might be!
It reminds me of some spp. like jovalis.

Hyperaspis jovialis
This is a good series because it shows the normal form and one of the more strongly marked examples. One of the larger Hyperaspis. Females have a narrowly pale pronotum margin, while males are quite extensively pale on this and the head.

what Dennis and I have thought of so far
We are still not sure what they are, but if anyone else wants to take a crack at this pair, here is what we've talked about so far:
Hyperaspis uteana
- not in CA; spots of
H. uteana
seem to reach margin
H. mckenziei
- its distribution is extremely limited and apparently not in this location; also its spots are smaller and rounder
H. quadrioculata
- it just isn't
H. jovialis
- this is my tentative suggestion and Dennis mentioned it too, but it would be an extreme form
H. leachi
- only if it's an extreme form
