you're looks like Omus californicus

I'd still wait for a final confirmation by an expert though. The other species is supposed to have the elytra broadest past the middle

I agree with Will, a male Omu

I agree with Will, a male Omus californicus angustocylindrus is a likely identification.

I spent some time collecting...

O. c. angustocylindricus, and this is questionable. So I placed it back in with O. californicus until more specimens can be located from this site. There is still a lot of work to do with the Omus of the northern Sierra Nevada.
