Ellychnia
now this must be one of the western Ellychnia (we may have a few more among those currently placed under Pyropyga)

Ellychnia
This is one of the western species. I'm not familiar with them but I would say it looks similar to E. greeni.

Possible.
Either species are common along the Pacific coast, but as mentioned I'm unacquainted with the western Lampyridae.
It's hard to tell whether the elytral costae are elevated. If the pronotal vittae do not to attain either apical or basal margins (which seems to be the case), then I would go with hatchi.
