Dr. Mockford weighs in...
"I think this is Elipsocus obscurus, a species that I described from several localities in south-coastal California. It looks darker than the ones that I have, but all of mine were collected in 1979, so they have probably faded somewhat. I would still like to see the specimen if possible, as I am not altogether certain about it and my specimens were from a little further north than this one."

I'm sorry, I didn't collect the specimen. It was in a state park, so I couldn't legally collect it without permission.
