Hyperstoma

	Hyperstoma ''Hyperstoma'' is a genus of firefly beetles in the family Lampyridae The Lampyridae are a family of elateroid beetles with more than 2,000 described species, many of which are light-emitting. They are soft-bodied beetles commonly called fireflies, lightning bugs, or glowworms for their conspicuous production .... Previously considered as a monotypic genus, the second species of the genus was described from 2011. The genus is endemic to Sri Lanka. Taxonomy The genus is closely related to the genera '' Lamellipalpus'' and '' Lamellipalpodes'' due to having fused terminal and penultimate terga. Description Body length is about 5 to 5.5 mm. Body is oval, with ranges from yellow to light brown in color. The terminal maxillary and labial palpomere are extremely long. Males possess flabellate antennae with stout branches attached to the apex of antennomere. The terminal and penultimate abdominal terga of the male is also fused, and jointly trilobed. The distal portion of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Lampyridae The Lampyridae are a family of elateroid beetles with more than 2,000 described species, many of which are light-emitting. They are soft-bodied beetles commonly called fireflies, lightning bugs, or glowworms for their conspicuous production of light, mainly during twilight, to attract mates. Light production in the Lampyridae is thought to have originated as an honest warning signal that the larvae were distasteful; this was co-opted in evolution as a mating signal in the adults. In a further development, female fireflies of the genus '' Photuris'' mimic the flash pattern of '' Photinus'' species to trap their males as prey. Fireflies are found in temperate and tropical climates. Many live in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. While all known fireflies glow as larvae, only some species produce light in their adult stage, and the location of the light organ varies among species and between sexes of the same species.

	Lamellipalpus ''Lamellipalpus'' is an Asian genus of fireflies or glow-worms in the subfamily Ototretinae The Ototretinae are a small subfamily in the firefly family (Lampyridae). They are close to the Luciolinae in some respects, but do not glow or flash. Rather, they attract their partners with pheromones like many relatives of the firefly family ....
