Eretes sticticus
found it, yes, looks quite similar. All sources I find are from Europe and Asia, though. This one came to my black light in the desert- with several others of its kind.

nearctica.com lists Eretes sticticus!
BUT: in AmBeetles 1:180 the New World specimens are claimed to belong to a separate, however barely distinct, species, E. occidentalis (Er.); so the name on the page is up to you, i guess...
this guy is shown here (click thumbnail to zoom pic) as Eretes form Calif.
