Many apologies
Many apologies, the size I originally posted (7.2 mm) was not correct. Going over my notes today, I found my error, and see the correct size for this beetle is 16.2 mm. Given that size, Pinophilus latipes seems the likely ID, and it is one of the three species found anywhere near West Virginia, juding from my reading (the other two are smaller, P. parcus and P. opacus).
