Brian,
I had not noticed that; I usually check the quakes via USGS with just M2.5 and larger (I know I can set all quakes, but it defaults next time to 2.5). I know that there are papers by Seeber et al and Nicholson et al from the mid and late 80s about cross faults (left-lateral NE-SW faults) between the San Jacinto system and the San Andreas proper: Ellmore Ranch M6.2 is on one of these, and it triggered the M6 1/2 Superstition Hills right lateral quake within a day. (1987 I think).
I don't know whether these faults are in the area of your swarm, between San Jacinto and Elsinore.
I'm interested in the distribution of faults, as I am working on a manuscript about some of the small, distributed offshore faults, including the Newport-Inglewood.
I'll email you off-list.
Chris
