Rain Beetles; Pleocoma 2 sympatric species - Pleocoma -

Oregon House, Yuba County, California, USA
October 28, 2013
Size: 26mm 28mm

At this location for past 25+ years have had regular activity after first soaking rains, usually early October.
The ID is not certain, but possibly Pleocoma fimbriata (black) and P. staff. Expert comments would be appreciated.
This is my first photo submission on this site.
What a fantastic resource it is!
