Dermestidae, help
Roseville, Vernon St., 38.7227, -121.2993. Elevation = 50m (164'), Placer County,, Placer County, California, USA
May 15, 2019
Size: 3.5 mm
Captured in Lindgren Funnel Trap at hanging from side of house.

Help, I keep keying this out to Pseudohadrotoma, but it doesn't look like any in BG, and the suggested key to species didn't seem to help, so it might be in another genus. Hopefully someone will point me in the right direction so I can figure out what mistake I'm making.

Characters I see mentioned in Manual of Nearctic Diptera Vol 1 (1).
Head
-- Median ocelli present.
-- Antennae 11 segmented including a 3 segmented club.
-- Antennal fossa open to the rear and the club extends past the fossa.
Thorax
-- Procoxae separated by prosternal process.
-- Hind coxal plates parallel, without a tooth or expanded area.
-- Hind coxal plates do not reach side of body.
