Ceracis singularis
Ceracis singularis is a minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae. It was originally described as Xestocis singularis by Dury in 1917. The species is distributed across Central America and North America, including Canada.
Cis fuscipes
minute tree-fungus beetle, Darkfooted Cis Beetle
Cis fuscipes is a species of minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae. It has a broad geographic distribution spanning Australia, the Caribbean, North America, Oceania, and Europe. The species is associated with fungal habitats, typical of ciid beetles that inhabit wood-decaying fungi.
Cis levettei
Cis levettei is a species of minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae. It is found in North America, with records from Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba in Canada. As a member of the Ciidae, it is associated with fungal habitats, particularly bracket fungi on trees. The species was described by Casey in 1898.
Cis quadridentatus
Cis quadridentatus is a species of minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae, a group of small beetles specialized for life on fungal fruiting bodies. The species was described by Dury in 1917 and is known from North America. Like other members of the genus Cis, it is associated with wood-decaying fungi, particularly polypore bracket fungi. Information on this species is limited, with only one observation documented in iNaturalist.
Cis rotundulus
Cis rotundulus is a minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae, described by Lawrence in 1971. It is known from North America and belongs to a group of beetles specialized for life on fungal substrates in wood. The species is one of approximately 500 described species in the genus Cis, which are among the most common and widespread members of the Ciidae family.
Cis subfuscus
Cis subfuscus is a minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae, first described by Gorham in 1886. It belongs to a group of small beetles specialized for life in fungal fruiting bodies, particularly polypore bracket fungi on dead and decaying wood. The species has been documented in Central America and North America.
Cis versicolor
Cis versicolor is a minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae, first described by Casey in 1898. The species inhabits Central America and North America, where it is associated with fungal communities on decaying wood. Like other members of the genus Cis, it is small-bodied and cryptic, living in microhabitats within forest ecosystems.
Cis vitulus
Cis vitulus is a species of minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae, a group of small beetles specialized for life on fungal substrates. The species was described by Mannerheim in 1843 and is known from North America. Members of the genus Cis are typically associated with wood-decaying fungi, particularly bracket fungi (Polyporaceae), where they complete their development. Like other ciid beetles, C. vitulus is likely cryptic and poorly studied due to its small size and specialized habitat.
Hadreule blaisdelli
Hadreule blaisdelli is a species of minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae. Like other members of this family, it is associated with wood-decaying fungi, particularly bracket fungi (Polyporales), which serve as both habitat and food source. The genus Hadreule is part of a diverse group of small beetles that play specialized roles in forest decomposition systems.
Orthocis punctatus
Pitted Fungus Beetle
Orthocis punctatus is a minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae. It is native to North America, with records from multiple Canadian provinces including Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba. The species is associated with fungal habitats on trees. As with other ciid beetles, it is small-bodied and adapted to life in decaying wood with fungal growth.
Sphindocis
Sphindocis is a monotypic genus of minute tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae. The genus contains a single described species, Sphindocis denticollis, described by Fall in 1917. It is classified within the subfamily Sphindociinae, a small lineage of Ciidae. Very few observations of this genus exist, with only two records documented on iNaturalist.
