Forum Entomologi Italiani

I found about 15 specimens like this one in a dead tree fungus.
size: ~ 3 mm

Penso si tratti di un Ciidae,famiglia tipicamente legata ai funghi.

Guarda qui, assomigliano abbastanza al genere Cis: http://www.colpolon.biol.uni.wroc.pl/cis.htm

It is a member of Cis boleti group (broad, flattened and explanate lateral pronotal margins). The group is diagnostic mostly by male genitalia.

Thank you

Boleti group is very difficult to identify
they very similar
I call them Dalton brother
It depond to also geographical region
I had several variation of them in north of Iran but all of them were Cis submicans!
you have to see genitalia of them
it is not possible you identify by morphology

this can be cis rugulosus, cis submicans or cis villosolus

But certainly cis boleti and Cis rugulosus are same species I checked genitalia of them
Palearctic species just have much geographical variation

regards

Thanks , if I can find some specimens maybe you are interested to study them?
