Mycetophagus populi Fabricius - Nationally Scarce A. Larvae probably develop within
fungal mycelia within decaying wood, although the favoured situations and conditions
are not known. Adults are most often found during winter and spring and so were
probably not in breeding habitat at the time; reported from under loose bark on wood
and in soft moist decaying sapwood of elm Ulmus and other broadleaves; spring
records include association with fresh sap. Status probably needs up-grading to RDB.
Mycetophagus quadriguttatus Müller, P.W.J. - Nationally Scarce A. In old decaying broadleaved
timber with mildewy cavities, very rare; also very occasionally in stored
products where fungal decay, e.g. granary refuse, haystacks, etc.
Mycetophagus quadripustulatus (Linnaeus) - Adults found beneath fungoid bark and at soft
bracket fungi, on a wide range of broad-leaved trees; develops most frequently in the
fruiting brackets of Polyporus squamosus.
Eulagius filicornis (Reitter) - Naturalised. A species of southern Europe and N. Africa
which has become established in the Reading area, 1993 onwards. Possibly
associated with the fungus Stereum hirsutum growing on dead branches of broadleaved
trees.
Ciidae - Minute Tree Fungus Beetles. Develop in bracket and other fungi in and on dead
and dying timber. While the larvae appear to have restricted fungal associations,
adults may feed on wood-decay fungi more widely.
Octotemnus glabriculus (Gyllenhal)* - Develop chiefly in young, expanding brackets of
Trametes versicolor; also in Pseudotrametes gibbosa; particularly characteristic of
beech Fagus woods, but also found in association with other broad-leaved tree
species.
Rhopalodontus baudueri Abeille – Fossil. Develops in fungal fruiting bodies on decaying
wood. Fossil evidence for presence in Britain up until 980 +/-110 BP, from Thorne
Moors.
Rhopalodontus perforatus (Gyllenhal) - RDB3. In brackets of Fomes fomentarius on birch
Betula; Highlands.
Sulcacis affinis (Gyllenhal) - Develop in brackets of the fungus Trametes versicolor, but
occasionally also reported from other fungi
Sulcacis bicornis (Mellié) - Nationally Scarce B. Develop in brackets of the fungus
Trametes versicolor; characteristic of beech Fagus woods but also found with ash
Fraxinus.
Cis alni Gyllenhal* - Associated with Jew's Ear Fungus Auricularia auricula-judae, mainly
on dead elder Sambucus, in S. England, probably also other fungi; larvae found in the
soft fungoid sapwood of the colonised dead host tissues.
Cis bidentatus (Olivier)* - Most regularly develops in the brackets of Piptoporus betulinus
and Laetiporus sulphureus, but also reported from Pleurotus, Polyporus squamosus,
and Ganoderma spp.
Cis bilamellatus Wood – Naturalised. Under fungoid bark and in various bracket fungi, most
often in Piptoporus betulinus on birch Betula; also in Ganoderma applanatum and
other bracket fungi; reached Britain from Australia in 1870's; now widespread.
Cis boleti (Scopoli)* - Develop in the fully expanded fruit bodies of the fungus Trametes
versicolor. The most frequent species of the family.
Cis coluber Abeille - RDB3. In fungi on trees: oak Quercus, Salix, alder Alnus.
Cis dentatus Mellié - RDB3. Birch polypore Piptoporus betulinus, and under fungoid pine
Pinus bark; Scottish Highlands.
Cis fagi Waltl* - Primarily develops in the mycelium of Laetiporus sulphureus in cubical redrotten
oak Quercus heartwood; larvae have also reported from subcortical mycelial
