We report the invasive fungivorous beetle Cis bilamellatus Wood (Coleoptera: Ciidae) from Chile for the first time, a species not previously known from any American country. We provide diagnostic characteristics for the species, including those of the male abdominal terminalia, as well as information on its host fungus and the known geographical record in the country.
