Can someone help me identify this spider?

Oxnard, CA

I found this spider while I was cleaning out my patio set. The patio set was covered under a few tarps that were UV damaged and had some holes.

This spider has the overall appearance of a hacklemesh weaver (family Amaurobiidae - see http://tinyurl.com/2bbj5vj for an example), but not of any species that I recognize. There also are some species in the family Corinnidae (antmimic/ground sac spiders) that can have a somewhat similar appearance - see http://tinyurl.com/2484dcn for an example. All these spiders are harmless to humans.
