Larval and adult morphology of Photuris elliptica Olivier (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) and a Halloweeny case of cave-dwelli…
The predatory firefly Photuris elliptica is common throughout the Atlantic Forest and has been proposed as a biomonitor due to the species’ narrow niche and elevational range. How…
Rhagophthalmidae Olivier, 1907 (Coleoptera, Elateroidea): described genera and species, current problems, and prospect…
Rhagophthalmidae are a small beetle family known from the eastern Palaearctic and Oriental realms. Rhagophthalmidae are closely related to railroad worms (Phengodidae) and firefli…
Comparative morphology and key to Amydetinae genera, with description of three new firefly species (Coleoptera, Lampyr…
Amydetinae is an exclusively Neotropical subfamily of fireflies, distributed among three genera: Amydetes Illiger, 1807, Magnoculus McDermott, 1964, and Memoan Silveira & Mermudes…
Systematic review of the firefly genus Emeia Fu, Ballantyne & Lambkin, 2012 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) from China
The Luciolinae genus Emeia Fu, Ballantyne & Lambkin, 2012 is reviewed. Phylogenetic relationships based on cox1 DNA barcoding sequences from 42 fireflies and 2 outgroup species ar…
A new species of Petalacmis firefly from Bolivia, with a key to species (Coleoptera, Lampyridae)
Petalacmis Olivier, 1908 is a poorly known genus of firefly endemic to South America and is currently the only member of the subfamily Lampyrinae, tribe Lampyrini known to occur o…
Sinopyrophorinae, a new subfamily of Elateridae (Coleoptera, Elateroidea) with the first record of a luminous click bee…
The new subfamily Sinopyrophorinae within Elateridae is proposed to accommodate a bioluminescent species, Sinopyrophorus schimmeli Bi & Li, gen. et sp. nov., recently discovered i…
Oculogryphus chenghoiyanae sp. n. (Coleoptera, Lampyridae): a new ototretine firefly from Hong Kong with descriptions o…
The first Oculogryphus species with associated males and female was found in Hong Kong and is described as new: O. chenghoiyanae sp. n. Adults of both sexes were collected live in…
Hidden in the daylight: A polyphasic approach reveals two bioluminescent Mycenaceae species from Yunnan Province, China…
Yunnan Province, recognised as a biodiversity hotspot in China, is a rich source of fungal diversity that we are just beginning to explore. During our investigation of bioluminesc…
An efficient iDNA method for surveying rainforest mammals with carrion flies
Metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA derived from invertebrates (iDNA) is a promising method for monitoring of mammal assemblages. However, optimization of field and laboratory methods…
Behavioural responses of fireflies to artificial light: red lights attract adult Lamprigera (Coleoptera, Lampyridae)
Artificial lights expanding into natural environments disrupt ecological systems, affecting organisms that depend on natural light cues. Fireflies, which use bioluminescence for c…
A case of color aberration in a fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) larva
Color aberrations in salamanders are caused by defective chromatophores or by disrupted synthesis of the pigments, and have been previously reported in Europe. In this paper we re…
