Banksula californica is a species of harvestman in family Phalangodidae. The animal is less than 2 mm in length.

Possible extinction

The species is possibly extinct because the type locality, the place from where the type specimen of the species was collected, Alabaster Cave in El Dorado County, California , has been partially destroyed due to mining and has been sealed by concrete, making surveying impossible.
