Cis occamy is a species of minute tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae. It is found in Brazil.[1][2]
Phylogenetically, it is inside the Cis bilamellatus species-group, defined by characteristics in the male and female genitalia.[2]
It has been found in Atlantic Forest biomes in the states of São Paulo (Rio Claro being its type locality), Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil.[3][4]
It uses several bracket fungi as hosts. The species identified are Fabisporus sanguineus, Trametes membranacea, Trametes villosa and Fuscoporia gilva.[4]
The etymology of the species name is an homage to occamy, a fictitious creature in the Harry Potter universe, named after the principle of Ockham's razor.[2][4]
