I am not sure how did you find her in south California, but according to antweb, they're "spreading rapidly across the southern and western United States."
That lady looks to me like Brachymyrmex patagonicus.

There's no much difference between Lasius and them. Her gaster is just over-swollen. Actually, size and lack of formic acid is what makes them so different.

Yeah, this one's gaster was just really pumped up, the other two I have aren't like that.
