No problem
A Revision of the Endemic Californian Spider Genus
Titiotus Simon (Araneae, Tengellidae)
NORMAN I. PLATNICK1 AND DARRELL UBICK2

Map shows that T shantzi mostly inhabits coastal regions along southern california.

While the actual range indicated doesnt extend into orange county, it's a safe bet, considering the identical habitat and close proximity to orange county of the southernmost records of shantzi. Juveniles lack the barring on the abdomen, and appear to be a pale peach color.

 
Looks good,
thanks!
