Not much detail visible in the photo unfortunately, but I don't recall there being any doubt about the ID at the time. Perhaps not present on Vancouver Island anymore.

Evalljapyx saundersiObserver
shawnb2Description
Found under a log in heavily shaded mixed forest, photographed live, then collected.
Sikes (2019) lists only two species of Japygoid in Canada, Occasjapyx americanus and Evalljapyx saundersi; a Parajapyx is also mentioned, but expected to be a misidentified E. saundersi. No other species are predicted to occur. From Allen (2002), given the macrochaetae are barbed, and trichobothria are present on antennal segments 4-6 (most visible on 6th segment in second last photo), this seems to best match Evalljapyx saundersi.
