Elko, 
https://www.bugguide.net/node/view/3353/data I don’t know which Platycryptus species this is, there are at least 3 possibilities in your region and the visual identification clues are vague. The link is to genus info on Bugguide. If you create a free account on the site you can click “data” to see the locations of the photos submitted to their site. I don’t know the gender. It is easier to find male jumpers in this time of year. Their pedipalps aren’t as visually gender dimorphic as many other types of spiders.
Yes, P, californicus.
Awesome! Is it possible to confirm gender as well?
The photo looks to be a male.
