I was hiking around in Aliso Woods the other day and came across this solifugae in the middle of the trail.  It is about 3/4 of an inch.  I have no idea if its a documented species or not.  If anyone has an idea of what it is leave it in the replies.  And if it's new where should I go to document it?

It's probably an Eremobates sp., but I'm not good with solifugid ID's. I have a friend who's pretty good with them if you'd like me to have him look at it.


Current Species:
Camponotus fragilis

Novomessor cockerelli

Pogonomyrmex montanus

Pogonomyrmex rugosus

Manica bradleyi

If he's willing let him at it.
