The beetle family Ciidae Leach is a relatively moderate family, which comprises about 640 described species in 42 genera worldwide (Abdullah, 1973; Thayer and Lawrence, 2002; JelÍnek, 2008; Buder et al., 2008; Jung, 2010). This family is distributed throughout the world (Abdullah, 1973; JelÍnek, 2008; Buder et al., 2008, Jung, 2010), 

The genus Cis Latreille is the largest group and most widespread in the family Ciidae, and contains various heterogeneous species (Kawanabe, 1997). Cis comprises about 350 (Buder et al., 2008) species in the worldwide (Abdullah, 1973; Thayer and Lawrence, 2002; Kawanabe, 2003) including about 93 species in Palaearctic region (JelÍnek, 2008) and about 24 species in Japan (Kawanabe, 2003). 

Cis is characterized by the following features: body convex, covered with distinctive seta, or with indistinctive seta and very shining; antennae with 10 antennomeres, apical antennomeres 3 forming a club; fronto-clypeus of male head usually bearing plates, teeth, or tubercles; anterior margin of pronotum usually produce anteriad, often rounded; outer apical angle of protibia usually produced and dentate or blunt and angulate, without seta; male sternite with fovea (Lawrence, 1973; Kawanabe, 2003). 

Cis members are mostly fungivorous (Lawrence, 1973; Buder et al., 2008). These members are considered mycetobiont because they depend upon the basidiocarps for food and breeding throughout their life span (Scheerpeltz and Höfler, 1948; Gumier-Costa et al., 2003; Jung, 2010). For example, Cis boleti preferentially colonizes in the fruiting bodies of fungi from the genus Trametes that are known as important wood decomposers. (Lawrence 1971; Orledge and Reynolds, 2005). 

The purpose of this study is to review the Korean Cis taxonomically and to account for the relationship between Korean ciids and their host fungi. In this paper the genus Cis is reviewed for the first time in Korea, as representative unrecorded 6 species by Cis boleti (Scopoli, 1763); Cis seriatopilosus Motschulsky, 1861; Cis mikagensis Nobuchi & Wada, 1955; Cis jezoensis Nobuchi, 1960; Cis sasajii Kawanabe, 2001; Cis hieroglyphicus Reitter, 1877. 

A key, description, photos of adults, fungal hosts, and illustrations of diagnostic characteristics are provided. The author first reported additional ecological data for the 6 species including their host fungi and habitat based on field observations and laboratory-rearing data. 

Materials and Methods

 The following records are based on specimens collected from host fungi growing on dead or decaying trees from 2005 to 2011 and then reared in the laboratory. The detailed morphological characters are carefully examined under stereomicroscopy (M50, DM2500, Leica, Switzerland) and captured by using digital camera (Canon, Japan). And the host fungi were identified based on Breitenbach and Kränzlin (1986) and Lee (1988).

 In this study, the following 5 stages of maturation of the fruiting body were recognized: 1) stage I means the first appearance of the young, growing fruiting body; 2) stage II means the old fruiting body between the maturation of the spores and dissemination of ripe spore; 3) stage III means the beginning of tissue breakdown in the conk; 4) stage IV means the rapidly decaying stage of the fruiting body; 5) stage V means mounting stage (Grave, 1960; Klimaszewski and Peck, 1987; Jung, 2010). These specimens were preserved in 70% ethanol, dry-mounted and deposited in the Jung's Insect Collection (Seoul, Korea).

 The following abbreviations were used to indicate the provinces in which the various specimens were collected: GW; Gangweon-do, GG: Gyeonggi-do, S: Seoul, CB: Chungcheongbuk-do, CN: Chungcheongnam-do, JB; Jeollabuk-do, GB: Gyeonsangbuk-do.

Elytra  strongly convex, with dense punctures, larger than punctures of pronotum; elytal base broader than base of pronotum; elytra with unshaped wavy patterns; punctures dual in size, bearing seta, not forming striae, but often partially seriate in longitudinal rows; seta almost equal to length of scutellum in length; interstice almost smooth. Prosternum raised, not carinate at middle part; prosternal process rather wide and parallel-sided
