Oecobius male - Oecobius maculatus - male

Oecobius male - Oecobius maculatus - Male
Leesville Road, 10.6 miles E of Bear Valley Road, Colusa County, California, USA
April 7, 2019
Size: 2 mm
I found this subadult male Oecobius male under a rock and reared it in captivity. It molted at least once and was later photographed and preserved as a specimen. It looks from the palp as if it might be a match to the one I found in Barstow recently and the other one found in Arizona by someone else - possibly a widespread introduced species?

Moved from Wall spiders.

The palp appears to be identical to the male I found in Barstow recently (and likely S Vitanza's AZ male), and the Barstow male was confirmed as maculatus by J Wunderlich.
