Comment:   What a fantastic record! I don't think that I have ever seen this species before. The closest I can get from the photo is that it is a Distoleon. Quite amazing, considering that we have collected quite extensively in the St Francis Bay area. Did it come to light. It would be really good to get some material, because I am almost certain that it is something new and completely unexpected. just shows what is still out there.
