May be a different species.
I think this might be a different species. S. angusticollis, in my experience, has very dull, evenly-striated elytra (wing covers). Genus is certainly correct. Another lovely specimen:-)

Now I am wondering
ID was made from Bugs of Washington and Oregon book. It is a simple guide however, probably not as exact as I was hoping for. As I did some internet seaching and looking at other S. angusticollis specimens, their posterior abdomens are more uniformly broad while this specimen comes more to a point before it is rounded. I have only two other possiblities. Check them out: http://www.evergreen.edu/ants/TESCBiota/kingdom/animalia/phylum/arthropoda/class/insecta/order/coleoptera/family/Carabidae/genera/SCAPHINOTUS/species/angulatus/S_angulatus.htm
