Abstract

A new species of aquatic firefly belonging to Luciola Laporte is described and illustrated based on external morphology of both males and females, and the genitalia of males. Luciola aquatilis sp. nov., a common firefly in Thailand was formerly commonly misidentified as Luciola brahmina Bourgeois. Other Luciola species that resemble L aquatilis are discussed, as well as past confusion concerning their taxonomic affinities. Copyright © 2007 Magnolia Press.
