Trichochrous calcaratus
This is Trichochrous calcaratus described by Fall from Santa Cruz Island. Notice the "calcar" on the first metatarsomere, which is clearly visible in this image. Following the description Fall mentions specimens from Santa Rosa Island. Though it is currently unclear, there is probably more than 1 species of Trichochrous with modified metatarsomeres found on the various California Channel Islands.
