Abstract

Ciidae is a widespread family of minute mycetobiont beetles which live in association with some macrofungi. Studies on this family may help to elucidate the phylogenetic relationship of the basal groups of Tenebrionoidea, as Pterogeniidae, Prostomidae, Archeocrypticidae and Mycetophagidae. There is no revisionary work giving emphasis ti the Braziluan ciids, and that makes difficult the continuity of some researches. Here, a list of described genera and species alredy recorded from Brazil is presented, incluiding two genera not cited, and together with notes some recent advances on the taxonomy and systematics of Brazilian ciids.
