Cryptophagidae: Telmatophilus americanus
Not a byturid, but a female Telmatophilus americanus.

Oh well,
at least I've got some California byturids :-) Thanks for the review, Don.

Joyce
Gross also had a couple pictures of "B. unicolor" that are Telmatophilus. Your Xerasia id is safe.

Yes, I noticed.
I had comments on Joyce's, which automatically subscribed me to your comment. She will no doubt move her own images.

I moved mine
now that you've created the guide page Jim -- thanks. Thanks Don for identifying these beetles.

Byturus unicolor
Based on tightness of the three-knobbed antennal club, general shape, pelosity, color and range, I'm going to place this beetle on the page with other identified members of this species.
