Moved
Moved from Minute Tree-fungus Beetles.
Thanks Cristiano. This beetle was from fungi growing on the side of a log, and I might have already given the specimen to Don Chandler at UNH.

Host fungi?
Reza, I didn't take a picture of the host and can't be positive, but it might have been Trametes versicolor or something similar, and I notified Don Chandler about your request.

Another introduced species!
I'm surprised! Have you find it free-living or in imported dried fungi from Asia? If that's free-living, that's another recently introduced species to USA! It's Cis chinensis Lawrence. I've recorded it from Brazil in 2008. It was introduced in Europe and has been recorded from several places in France, Germany, Italy and Malta (wrongly identified as Cis multidentatus until recently). It was also introduced in La Reunion, western Indian Ocean, and I know unofficial records from other countries.

It's a very important species, because it's spreading quickly in the world. Do you have preserved specimens? Photos of the host-fungus?
