Xystocheir dissecta ssp. taibona - Xystocheir dissecta
Willow Springs, San Benito County, California, USA
April 8, 2012
Size: 30mm length
My wife and granddaughter found this guy near our picnic table on our land where we go to shoot clay pigeons. 36.66690°N, 121.03109°W. It was next to this exuvia , so I assume it is recently moulted. Looks similar to Xystocheir dissecta or Harpaphe haydeniana .
