Ditylus.
Your genus is certainly correct. I think there may be another species, though. You could still be right, of course :-)

Thanks Eric!
Do you know which another species may occur in Oregon? Unfortunately, I have not a key for this genus...

Shoot.
I just sold my copy of the volume of Beetles of the Pacific Northwest that covers that family and genus:-( Well, I got to eat, too, at least while I'm unemployed.
