Small cerambycid - Phymatodes vilitatis
near Yale, Cowlitz County, Washington, USA
March 3, 2012
Size: 8 mm
Found this beetle under bark of Douglas fir's log.
Looks close to Callidiini to me, but I'm not sure even at this level.

Phymatodes vilitatis
Great, thanks a lot!!! Phymatodes was my very first guess too.
I have two specimens of P. grandis in my collection, but they are twice bigger in size and have slightly brownish tarsi and antennae; scutellum U-shaped and covered with white short hairs; pronotum has just one very small rhombic hairless segment.
This small beetle is black in color (with some greenish hue when it's flying), scutellum is more rounded with no specific hairs on it and pronotum has a big pyxidate hairless segment...
