There's another relatively large spirobolidan in LA Co., Atopetholus californicus (= A. angelus) and maybe even one or two other representatives of Atopetholidae. This is one.

Spirobolida
A Spirobolid, I believe one in Hiltonius, but it might be in Tylobolus.

From (1), pg. 39:

"H. pulchrus or of Tylobolus
claremontus, the only large spiroboloids currently known to occur in Los Angeles Co."


Compare:


Dr. Shelley should confirm.

Thanks!
Thanks for narrowing it down! Both of those species have been documented at the field station, and it would be great if I could find out which one this is.

I actually thought I had it, but that's why I said to wait for Dr. Shelley.

My source seemed good too, but that's how we learn.
