Arenivaga investigata
A friend of mine is 99% sure that this is Arenivaga investigata. He has cultured them in the past. I personally have a pair of them (the male is subadult and the female is one molt before it) that a friend in San Bernadino sent me. The size is characteristic of the species.

Definitely.
Male (females are wingless).
