Collection information.

USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 36 individuals from 25 sites. Caught in flight trap and sifted from leaf litter from 9 March – 26 August 2020. Includes 10 morphospecies that were not determined to species-level.

Saproxylic habits.

Larvae and adults live and feed on wood-decomposing bracket fungi ( Thayer and Lawrence 2002); although Cis can be found in a wide variety of bracket fungi, species typically have a narrow range of related fungal hosts ( Orledge and Reynolds 2005), and host use for North American species is reviewed in Lawrence (1973).
