Anisostena sp. - Anisostena perspicua

Anisostena sp. - Anisostena perspicua
Indian Valley Rd., 13 km (8 mi) north of Camptonville, 39.5167, -121.0114. Elevation = 685 m (2,247')., Sierra County, California, USA
May 9, 2013
Size: 4.2 mm
According to range this could be either perspicua or californica, but I don't find any characters to separate them, so I've included a few pics. More details upon request.

CA isn't on the range map for either of these species, so it would be nice to get it to species.

Between the antenna is a very narrow ridge (shown in pics).
Tarsi are simple and paired.
The pygidium seems important for some species.
Eye is pictured as an important character.
