Description

Luciola Laporte, 1833 sensu stricto

Luciola Laporte s. str. (sensu Ballantyne and Lambkin 2013: 64).

Luciola Laporte 1833: 146. Lacordaire 1857: 335. Motschulsky 1853: 52. Gorham 1880: 99. Olivier 1902: 69; 1907: 50. Lea 1909: 106. Ballantyne and Lambkin 2013: 64. Yiu 2012: 92; 2017: 92. Fu 2014: 23.

Luciola (Luciola) Laporte. McDermott 1966: 103 (Partim). Nec Calder 1998: 178.

Bourgeoisia Olivier. Olivier 1908: 17; 1911 c: 102. McDermott 1966: 117. Deheyn and Ballantyne 2009: 47. Ballantyne and Lambkin 2013: 64.

Type species: Luciola antipodum Bourgeois designated by McDermott 1966.

See Ballantyne et al. (2022: 42) and Bouchard et al. (2024: 302–303) for explanation and definition of this category. McDermott (1966: 98) incorrectly listed Luciola pedemontana Motschulsky designated by Motschulsky (1853). Ballantyne, Jusoh and others are undertaking a review of the correct type species for this genus (Keller and Ballantyne 2023; Bouchard et al. 2024). Key to species of Luciola s. str: The key to both males and females in Ballantyne et al. (2019: 87) did not accommodate species having pale marginal elytral markings, and Luciola laticollis was listed there under Luciola sensu lato.
