Neomolgus
It's Neomolgus, but I'm uncertain of 'littoralis' given that this species is putatively present on both coasts of North America from Mexico to Vancouver Island and Newfoundland. A very robust species if it happens to be a singular one. There are several named species in this genus: https://insects.tamu.edu/research/collection/hallan/acari/bdellidae.txt
