Thanks a lot, Cristiano!
Glad we can put a name to this Ciid! I've had many of them emerging from the polypore fungus.

You're welcome
In case you have some available specimens (also of other ciids) and want to send as a gift to me, I'll become very glad :)
I have few of this species here in the collection...

Probably have some left
I still have old fungi in the rearing containers, likely thriving with
C. thoracicornis
and maybe some
Octote*mnus laev*is
(asterisks keep the names from coming up in site searches) and
Cis
sp. ... possibly some others which I've overlooked. I've posted numerous unidentified Ciids on the Ciid pages, so if you recognize or want any of them, I
may
be able to search the fungi and get some for you.

Thanks Stephen!
Any ciid would be useful for me! I told Jim and others here that, instead of throwing away the ciids, to keep some and send me (if and when possible). Some species cannot be identified from photos, but I'm taking a look in all the ciids of Bugguide when I have spare time and trying to contribute. After I see your ciid photos, I'll tell you the species that are most important for me. Thanks in advance!
