In the identification key to bacchine and melanostomine groups by Thompson \u0026 Skevington (2014), the new genus keys out to couplet 2. Further, males of Biema key out to Baccha Fabricius, 1805 based on its short pilose antennal arista, unmodified hind tibia, distinct facial tubercle and bare metathoracic pleuron. Our new genus can be easily distinguished from Baccha by the incomplete postmetacoxal bridge (complete postmetacoxal bridge in Baccha) and by the sparse but present scutellar fringe (absent in Baccha). Females of Biema, with a parallel-sided abdomen, key out to couplet 11 and are morphologically related to Platycheirus, Argentinomyia Lynch-Arribálzaga, 1891 and Melanostoma.\nEtymology\nThe new genus is named after the Biema Zang people, who live where the type specimens were collected.\nDescription\nSmall sized flies. Head hemispherical. Eye bare. Vertex, frons and face black, densely white pollinose obscures ground colour. Facial tubercle rounded and produced, bare and shinning. Arista extremely short pilose. Antennal sockets confluent. Scutellum black, row of short bristles on posterior margin and one pair of bristles elongated in the middle. Katepisternum only with ventral patches. Metasternum not reduced, posterior margin shallowly concave similar to that in Platycheirus. Legs slender, not modified, hide-coxa without tuft of pile on anteromedial corner. Wing membrane entirely microtrichose. Vein R 4+5 straight; spurious vein rudimentary; crossvein r-m slightly inclined, located before basal ⅓ of cell dm; alula narrow, as wide as width of cell c. Male abdomen nearly parallel-sided, slightly constricted at tergite 2 posterior margin, broadened from tergite 3 and widest part at end of tergite 4, postabdomen conspicuous more swollen than other segments. Tergite 2 slightly longer than tergite 3, and tergite 3 slightly longer than tergite 4. Abdomen blackish brown with yellow maculae or fasciae.

It became clear that ‘ Luciola ’ was a heterogeneous assemblage of species and that it was necessary to be able to define what constituted Luciola s. str.\nThis was achieved by comparison of morphological features of the type species Luciola italica with the other species. Fu et al. (2010) first identified two species, Luciola italica and the Japanese species Luciola parvula Kiesenwetter, 1874 as Luciola s. str., and Fu et al. (2012a) an additional species but without further definition. Ballantyne et al. (2013) first formally addressed and redescribed Luciola s. str. Subsequently Ballantyne et al. (2015: fig. 1; 2016: figs 1–2; 2019: fig. s1), and Jusoh et al. (2021: 1) further refined the concept and composition of Luciola s. str.\nOur exhaustive literature reviews and taxonomic revisions reveal two possible options to resolve Luciola taxonomy insofar as it relates to a definition of Luciola s. str. Such a definition is essential to our argument (and the status of Hotaria) as well as the resolution of a position for Luciola cruciata and L. owadai. Here we follow Jusoh et al. (2021: 8, fig. 3).\nThe options are:\n1. Subsume all three current members of Luciola subgenus Hotaria Yuasa, 1937 (unmunsana, papariensis and tsushimana) into one genus, i.e., Luciola s. str. (Jusoh et al. 2021: fig. 3 Clade G), and retain the remaining five species in Luciola s. str. Luciola s. str. thus comprises the 7 species from Jusoh et al. (2021: fig. 3) including the type species L. italica, and is clearly distinct from the clade E which includes L. cruciata / owadai and species of Aquatica.\n2. Subsume all current members of Luciola subgenus Hotaria into one genus, i.e., Luciola s. str. (Jusoh et al. 2021: Clade G) which subsequently restricts Luciola s. str. to four species within the same clade as Luciola italica (Clade G Part II), and erect a new genus to accommodate Luciola pallidipes + niah Jusoh, 2019 (Clade G Part I)\nOption 2 while extreme, may indicate a future path, but is untenable at present without evidence to support the split between niah/ pallidipes and Luciola s. str., the extensive and presently uninvestigated ‘ Luciola ’ of Africa (about 100 species are assigned to Luciola in McDermott 1966), and species of ‘ Luciola ’ in Europe such as L. lusitanica Charpentier, 1825, L. italica, and L. mingrelica Motschulsky, 1854. There is no present agreement on just which populations comprise the aforementioned three species.\nOption 1 permits a wider definition of Luciola s. str., where all the species in Jusoh’s Clade G are assigned, and is supported by morphological considerations (including males females and larvae). This definition of Luciola s. str. will accommodate possible future directions as well as existing problems, while still defining a narrow group of species forming a clade with the type species.\nNeither of these options address specifically what course of action should be taken with three of the four species of ‘ Hotaria ’ which the analysis indicates may well be the same species, distinct from L. parvula. However, as each option recommends that Hotaria be subsumed under Luciola s. str. (as already undertaken by Kawashima et al. 2003) we advise this recommendation (Supp. file 1: 3).\nAll comments above relating to suggested placements of species still listed as Luciola sp. relate specifically to the wide, and defined study area of Ballantyne et al. (2019: 5) in SE Asia and the Australopacific area.\nThe remaining Luciola\nThe situation with regard to the remaining species still standing under Luciola by McDermott (1966) can also be addressed. Ballantyne et al. (2019) addressed Luciola s. str. from 17 species, including the type species L. italica. However, they did not regard their treatment of all the species listed by McDermott (1966) under Luciola as finished. Clearly they did not attempt to address the Luciola of Africa (ca 100 species), nor the Luciola of Europe. Their specified area of coverage extended from India in the west through Asia (excluding Russia), the Philippines to the Australopacific region (see listing in Ballantyne et al. 2019: 5), where in the Australopacific region the firefly fauna is exclusively Luciolinae.\nIn attempting to address the range of species, Ballantyne et al. (2019) were confronted with many of the problems we have outlined here. Two solutions were proposed specifically for the remaining species still standing under Luciola, occurring in the study area as defined above:\n1. Species incertae sedis. Thirty-five species of ‘ Luciola ’ were assigned to species incertae sedis (Ballantyne et al. 2019: 151, table 28). While each species was individually addressed, each had certain attributes which the authors felt would preclude any further attempt to conclusively identify them. These included absence of types, poor condition of types (if represented at all what body parts that remained were not useful in diagnosis), and types that were females. This sex is presently of little use in what is still a male based Luciolinae taxonomy.\n2. Luciola s. lat. The second solution addressed the remaining species from the defined study area still assigned to Luciola in McDermott (1966). Although a ‘heterogeneous assemblage of species’ (Ballantyne et al. 2019: 102), they were considered sufficiently distinctive (usually in colour, and in many cases because of the existence of a type specimen in some sort of condition that might permit re-examination), that the very real possibility existed for future assignment of males and elucidation of generic affinities. All are in MNHN. Of the thirty-three species listed in Ballantyne et al. (2019: 103–104, table 18) seven have female types but distinctive colouration, 18 have male types in various condition, and types were not found for 11.\nIt was anticipated that a visit to the MNHN in Paris and work on the collection would eventuate, as this museum will no longer loan types. However Covid intruded, as did the very real financial situation the retired senior author finds herself in, that further precludes any possibilities of additional investigation in the immediate future."},{"descriptionType":"Other","description":"Published as part of Ballantyne, Lesley, Kawashima, Itsuro, Jusoh, Wan F.

SATÔ 1994 (red holotype label, printed in black ink).\nDescription\nMale (Figs 1–2)\nBODY LENGTH. 9.5–15.8 mm.\nCOLOUR (Figs 1–2). All of body including head, mouthparts and antennae, ventral thorax, legs and abdomen, black, except for yellowish orange pronotum (with underlying yellowish fat body), having no median darker markings, yellowish MN and MS, and white LO in V6, 7. Pronotal width/GHW 1.39–1.46. GHW/SIW: 4–4.8.\nABDOMEN. As depicted in Jeng et al. (2003: fig. 8), with a short broad apically rounded MPP.\nAEDEAGAL SHEATH (Fig. 5). Sheath sternite widely emarginated on right side, and scarcely so on left (see also Jeng et al. 2003: fig. 28).\nAEDEAGUS (Fig. 5). BP well sclerotised; median anterior margin of BP with deep and well-defined notch (see also Jeng et al. 2003: fig. 34); lateral margins of ML subparallel-sided in basal 7/₁₀, gradually narrowing in apical 3/₁₀. LL/ML 2.81; LL apex width considerably wider than width of apex of ML; dorsal base of LL symmetrical; apex of ML depressed on both sides; the outline of apex rounded when viewed from either side.\nAEDEAGAL PATTERNS. Since the distribution of this species is limited to the small island Kume-jima Is., there is little individual variation in the shape of the aedeagus.\nFemale (Fig. 7B)\nMacropterous and flight capable.\nBODY LENGTH. 13.1–15.7 mm.\nCOLOUR (Fig. 7B). Colouration as in male except for whitish LO in V6 (Satô \u0026 Kimura 1994 describe this as the 5 th abdominal segment) occupying all but a narrow transparent posterior margin; V7 mostly black, not transparent as that of female of N. cruciata, and no underlying fat bodies visible; basal portion of V7 may have irregular and indistinct pale patches where the blackish pigmentation appears to be lost; V8 black; dorsal surface of all tergites (up to T8) and dorsally reflexed margins of ventrites (to V5, and V7, V8) dark brown to black; T6 black with outer margins of dorsally reflexed parts of V6 white and semitransparent.\nPRONOTUM. Pronotal width/GHW 1.74–1.86.\nHEAD. GHW/SIW 2.78–2.90.\nABDOMEN. Posterior margin of V7 shallowly and narrowly emarginated as in Jeng et al. (2003: fig. 16). Lateral margins of V8 converge posteriorly; with the median posterior margin very shallowly and narrowly emarginated. Jeng et al. (2003: fig. 16) depict the posterior margin of V7 with a shallow and narrow emargination.\nREPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. Well defined thin walled SDG; MOP trapezoidal, filling half of the median oviduct, with the anterior margin almost straight; lateral margins straight and convergent toward the posterior margin; posterior margin nearly straight but slightly irregular. Ovipositor elongate slender.\nLarva (Figs 8B, 9E‒H)\nApprox. body length 13 mm (specimens measured were severely shrunken due to ethanol fixation); maximum (median) length of protergum 2.7 mm; maximum width of protergum 2.3 mm. Penultimate instar larvae were examined. The larvae of this species closely resemble those of N. cruciata, and are not clearly distinguishable from each other in general appearance and morphological characteristics. However, the ground colour of the membranous body of N. owadai is much paler (Ohba et al. 1994), light to greyish brown, while that of N. cruciata is dark to blackish brown, and it differs from N. cruciata in the tendency of the pale markings on the lateral margins of pronotum to separate anteriorly and posteriorly into four independent spots. Ohba et al. (1994) recorded 12 abdominal pygopodia in what was possibly the last instar larva. Jeng et al. (2003) considered the basal row of pygopods was composed of four retractable filaments.\nFlash communication\nThe flash pattern of both sexes of this species is very similar to that of N. cruciata, and the communication system is the same as that of N. cruciata. Synchronous flashing of the males is similar to that of east Japan populations of N. cruciata, but the flash interval gets shorter over time, from 4 sec to 3 and 2 sec. However, unlike the west Japan populations of N. cruciata, the synchronous flashing does not last for a long time but continues intermittently through the night. Thus, it has characteristics of both east and west Japan N. cruciata.\nSpawning behaviour\nFemales gather and lay eggs on the moss near water as in the western Japanese form of N. cruciata. However, they gather all at once just before dawn, not one after another in the night.\nRemarks\nThis species is designated both a natural monument of Okinawa Prefecture and an endangered species of wild fauna and flora under the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties and the Act on Conservation of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, respectively. It is now difficult if not impossible to obtain specimens of this endangered species in the locality, Kume-jima Is. The few specimens examined by IK are listed above. All other remarks about this species are referenced. Ohba et al. (1994) addressed life history, behaviour and morphology. Ohba (2004b) depicted various aspects of morphology of this species including flashing patterns (page 7), dorsal aspect of female (page 11) and male (pages 38, 45), SEMs of anterior head (page 62) and a species overview (in Japanese, page 109).

BD75E8CA-BC67-4597-A0A5-6BCEF5BA7B4F\nFigs 1‒3, 5‒12\nType species\nLuciola cruciata Motschulsky, 1854, designated here.\nDiagnosis\nNipponoluciola gen. nov. is a genus of Japanese Luciolinae fireflies and consists of two species both of which have aquatic larvae with abdominal gills. While Nipponoluciola belongs to that group of 18 genera of Luciolinae where the aedeagus in the male has the LL widely visible at the side of the ML (Ballantyne et al. 2019), it is one of only two genera in this group of 18 (the other is Missimia) where the elytral epipleuron at its base is very narrow and when viewed from beneath in a horizontal specimen the humerus is widely visible in both males and females (Fig. 3A–C). In the other genera of Luciolinae with LL visible at the sides of the ML the base of the elytral epipleuron is expanded, and the humerus is not visible from below in a horizontal specimen (example in Fig. 3D). It is distinguished from Missimia by distribution (Missimia is a rare genus known only from four specimens taken in the New Guinean highlands), and the unique feature of Missimia, where the labrum and clypeus are immovably joined (Fig. 4E; Table 1; Ballantyne \u0026 Lambkin 2009: figs 27, 29–30, 32). The clypeolabral suture in Nipponoluciola is flexible. It is distinguished from the genus Aquatica, with which it shares similar aquatic larvae bearing abdominal gills, by the following features: Aquatica species adult males may have pale margined elytra (Fig. 4A), the elytral epipleuron at its base is wide (Fig. 3D), the LO in V7 is usually retracted from the posterior margin (Fig. 4B), the lateral margins of V7 are not angulated, both left and right margins of the posterior area of the sheath sternite have pointed projections, the aedeagal basal piece is not notched (Fig. 4C–D). Females have thin paired bursa plates (Fu et al. 2010). See Table 2.\nMales have black elytra and the pronotum may have median dark brownish to blackish markings and an underlying pink fat body (in N. cruciata) (Figs 1, 2G, 6), or have no dark markings and underlying yellowish orange fat body (in N. owadai) (Figs 1, 2H). Females are coloured like males, and are larger, macropterous, with spermatophore digesting gland, no obvious bursa plates and a small transverse median oviduct plate in N. cruciata (Fig. 7). Larvae (Figs 8–9) are aquatic, have forked gills along the sides of the abdominal segments 1–8 and apical sense organs on maxillary and labial palpomeres. Distinguished most obviously from Aquatica larvae by the differences in the markings of protergum (outlined subsequently); distinguished from A. lateralis by the unbranched setae on the dorsal surface of the mandibles, and the absence of microspines on pale areas of paired tergites of meso- and metathoraces, and abdominal segments 1–8 (Okada 1928: figs 2‒3, 2‒4 depicted but did not name these microspines; IK confirmed their presence in A. lateralis).\nEtymology\nThe generic name seeks to honour the country of origin of these two species and their status as celebrated icons. ‘Nippon’ is the Japanese name for Japan, and Luciola represents the genus to which these species were formerly assigned. Gender: feminine.\nDescription\nMale (Figs 1–3, 5–6, 10‒12)\nPRONOTUM (Figs 1–2). Punctation dense; anterior margin broadly rounded and projecting beyond rounded obtuse anterolateral corners, slightly so in owadai; lateral margins slightly divergent, the pronotum being wider across its posterior area than elsewhere (C\u003eA, B), width (C) subequal to humeral width; posterolateral corners narrowed, apically rounded, slightly less than 90°, projecting posteriorly slightly beyond median posterior margin, which is not emarginated, and separated from it by welldefined emarginations. Pronotal colour variations depicted in Fig. 6 are discussed under Nipponoluciola cruciata gen. et comb. nov.\nHYPOMERA. Not well flattened; pronotal width/GHW 1.43–1.47.\nELYTRON (Figs 1–3). Punctation dense, not linear, not as large as that of pronotum, nor widely and evenly spaced; apices not deflexed, nor emarginated; epipleuron and sutural ridge extend beyond mid-point, almost to apex but not extending around apex, neither thickened in apical half; with three interstitial lines of which the inner two interstitial lines are well defined; in horizontal specimen viewed from below epipleuron at elytral base narrow with humerus visible; viewed from above in horizontal specimen anterior margin of epipleuron arises well behind the posterior margin of MS (Fig. 3A, C); epipleuron developed as a lateral ridge along most of length; sutural margins approximate along most of length in closed elytra; lateral margins parallel-sided.\nHEAD (Figs 1–2). Gently depressed between eyes; at least anterior portion exposed in front of pronotum, not capable of complete retraction within prothoracic cavity at rest; eyes moderately separated beneath at level of posterior margin of mouthpart complex; frons-vertex junction not defined this area rounded, posterolateral eye excavation not developed; antennal sockets on head between eyes, close but not contiguous, ASD subequal to ASW; clypeolabral suture present, flexible, not in front of anterior eye margin when head viewed with labrum horizontal; outer edges of labrum reach inner edges of closed mandibles. Mouthparts: functional; apical labial palpomere flattened, shaped like a broad triangle, longer than wide, with inner edge dentate. Antennae (Fig. 1) 11 segmented; approximately 2× GHW; FS simple elongate; GHW/SIW 3.70–4.50.\nLEGS (Figs 1–2). Without MFC; no legs with curved or expanded femora or tibiae; no basitarsi expanded or excavated.\nABDOMEN (Fig. 2F). No ventrites with curved posterior margins nor extending anteriorly into emarginated posterior margin of anterior segment. LO in V7 entire, LO present in V6, occupying almost all V6 (Jeng et al. 2003: figs 7, 9). V7 with elongate apically rounded MPP and angulate lateral areas which are not prolonged and correspond to where PLP would originate in other species. T7 without prolonged anterolateral corners; T8 not heavily sclerotised; no concealed anterolateral arms of T8 and the anterolateral corners scarcely produced (see Jeng et al. 2003: figs 21–22); lateral margins subparallel sided; posterior margin evenly rounded and entire; T8 ventral surface smooth even without any ridges or projections.\nAEDEAGAL SHEATH (Fig. 5). Approx. 1.94–2.12 times as long as wide; without bulbous paraprocts; symmetrical in anterior half where sheath sternite tapers evenly to a broadly rounded apex; lateral arms of sheath tergite widely visible from below on left, narrowly on right; posterior area of sternite (posterior to the articulation of the tergite arms) narrow, emarginated on both sides (depending on orientation it may appear to be more deeply emarginated on right side) with margin even, without projections, and sternite apex rounded; tergite broad with anterior margin slightly and evenly emarginated; no obvious subdivision into more than one segment observed; posterior margin entire and evenly rounded; tergite projecting about as far as apex of sternite.\nAEDEAGUS (Figs 5, 10–12). Subparallel sided; basal piece well defined and usually with distinctive, asymmetrical median notch; LL widely visible beside ML; LL of similar length, slightly shorter than ML; width across LL, (measured from beneath), much wider than width across widest part of median lobe (3‒3.3); ML slender gradually narrowing in apical 1/7; apices of LL with ventral surfaces broad, slightly curved and hairy. Differences in aedeagal patterns in Nipponoluciola cruciata gen. et comb. nov. are addressed under that species in Figs 10‒12.\nFemale (Fig. 7)\nMacropterous and flight capable.\nBODY LENGTH. 14.0– 18.4 mm (Jeng et al. (2003) listed a range of 15.0– 18.6 mm long).\nCOLOUR (Fig. 7A, C–D). As for male except white LO restricted to V6, pinkish fat bodies beneath V 7 in cruciata, or V7 completely black and underlying fat body not visible in owadai; black V8 with paired semitransparent areas; all tergites black except for T7 which has a median dark band and semitransparent lateral areas under which pink fat bodies are visible in cruciata.\nPRONOTUM (Fig. 7). Outline as for male; pronotal width/GHW 1.88–2.20.\nHEAD. GHW/SIW 2.67–2.90.\nABDOMEN (Fig. 7C–D, I). Lateral margins of V8 taper posteriorly, V8 with shallow median posterior emargination; anterior apodeme of V8 well sclerotised and separated from posterior area of V8 by clear transparent cuticle (Fig. 7I).\nREPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (Fig. 7E‒H, J). Spermatophore digesting gland well defined usually with particulate remnants inside; spermatheca with expanded non sclerotised base; no obvious bursa plates; median oviduct plate well defined (Fig. 7G–H), anterior margin curved and irregular, lateral margins straight and converging slightly posteriorly, posterior margin slightly and broadly emarginated; lying transversely in the median oviduct and curved possibly to accommodate to the outline of the duct. Ovipositor: elongate slender (Fig. 7J).\nLarva (Figs 8A–B, 9A‒H) (see also Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82)\nDORSAL SURFACE (Figs 8–9). With 3 thoracic and 9 obvious abdominal segments of which abdominal segments 1–8 bear lateral tracheal gills which are forked and compound, with a non-functional spiracle located at the end of the shorter branch. A narrow ring of cuticle at the posterior end of segment 9 has been attributed to segment 10 (Ballantyne \u0026 Menayah 2002: figs 2–3; Nada et al. 2021) and may be completely covered and concealed by the posterior margin of segment 9 from above in aquatic species, but visible from beneath. Lawrence \u0026 Ślipiński (2013) consider that segment 10 has been transformed into the holdfast organ (pygopodia) at the end of the abdomen. We refer to abdominal terga 1‒9 only as these are clearly visible. Elongate, tapering at front and behind, membranous and very soft bodied, and somewhat flattened. The thorax and abdomen are almost membranous, with ventral sclerites degenerate and extent barely demarcated by wrinkles or folds, except for a single coloured dorsal plate on both the prothorax and abdominal segment 9, and paired well sclerotised and coloured tergites on the meso and metathorax, and abdominal segments 1–8. A wide membranous area/line extends from the anterior margin of the mesothorax to the posterior margin of abdominal segment 8. Without laterally explanate tergal margins thus laterotergites and gills visible from above.\nVENTRAL SURFACE (Fig. 9B, D, F). The extent of the following areas in very soft bodied aquatic larvae is often difficult to determine. A lateral pleural suture delimits laterotergites above in the thorax and abdomen (e.g., Ballantyne \u0026 Menayah 2002: fig. 1; Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82). In the thorax the median ventral surface of both meso and metathorax is subdivided into two areas by a sternocostal suture running anterior to the coxae, an anterior basisternum with laterotergites at the sides in the mesothorax; (in terrestrial larvae these mesothoracic laterotergites bear functional spiracles, but spiracles were not clearly visible in the larvae examined); a posterior median subrectangular sternellum bears the legs and is margined laterally by laterotergites; the episterna and epimera of both the meso and metathorax are visible above the coxae of the meso and metathoracic legs as thin dark sclerotised plates (see interpretation in Fu et al. 2012b: 5). This subdivision does not extend to the dorsal surface. In the abdominal segments 1–8 a median subrectangular area is attributed to the sternum; this is margined laterally by elongate narrow paired laterosternites, which are delimited by folds from the median sternal plate below, and the laterotergites above; in this aquatic genus the absence of any additional colour on the ventral surface makes interpretation of these areas difficult, and they may be incompletely distinguished only by folds in the membrane; laterotergites of segments 1–8 bear branched gills. Eversible branched defensive organs arise at the sides of the meso and metathorax, and abdominal segments 1–8, in the membrane at the sides of the terga of those segments and above the laterotergites of the abdomen (see below).\nHEAD (Fig. 8C) (Kanda 1935: fig. 13; Hara 1962: figs 1, 5; Fu et al. 2012b: figs 25–30, 69). Subparallel sided, dorsoventrally flattened, prognathous, well sclerotised, with an ocellus at each side; not visible when retracted into the prothoracic cavity; extensible neck membrane forming two layered envelope around retracted head; capable of considerable extension beyond the anterior protergal margin; head capsule divisible into median dorsal frontoclypeus, bounded laterally by the U shaped frontal arms of the ecdysial line (= epicranial suture); lateral parietal plates at the sides of the frontoclypeus are separated behind by the epicranial stem and are reflexed ventrally but not meeting; maxillae and labium fused forming a maxillolabial complex covering most of ventral head area.\nANTENNAE (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 27–29). Slender, cylindrical, 3 segmented, with elongated scape and pedicel, and apical very short (3 rd) segment (the flagellum), with apical sensilla, subequal in length to adjacent sense cone; elongate ‘articulating membrane’ forms two layered envelope around retracted antenna.\nMOUTHPARTS (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 25, 29, 69). Well developed; mandibles falcate, strongly sclerotised; densely covered in fine hair along outer margins; densely pubescent along basal half of inner margins; perforated along length by a fine canal that opens on the outer margin just behind the apex; without a basal retinaculum; fine reticulate sculpture on the dorsal surface; with a row of elongate curved setae arising in a line just inside the outer margin. Maxillae with short, squat, four segmented palp bearing sense organs at the apex of segment 4; basal segment (which may be interpreted as the palpifer) large and well defined, segments 2 and 3 very short and diminishing in width towards apex, apical segment longer and narrower than palpomere 3, with apical sense organs; palp may obscure galea, which is long, thin, two segmented, bearing long and short setae at apex, and on its inner margin an elongate, flattened, dense profusion of anteromedially directed hairs (lacinia); cardo well defined, articulating with broad elongate stipes; fused along its outer edges with the reflexed head margins, and along its inner margins with the median labium. Labium with two segmented labial palpi, bearing sense organs at the apex of segment 2, and arising at anterolateral corners of small prementum which lacks a ligula; apical palpomere elongate conical with two or three peg-like sensilla on the sides; anterior area of prementum densely covered by minute spines on both sides of dorsal surface; postmentum elongate, not well sclerotised and colourless, and joined along sides by membrane to the cardines.\nTHORAX (Figs 8–9) (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82). Prothorax longer than wide, and containing retracted head within; with ventral surface little differentiated. Protergum elongate or elliptical, with lateral margins arcuate and shallowly expanded laterad, divergent posteriorly; anterior and posterior margins rounded and widely arcuate, connecting directly to lateral margins without forming corners. Each tergite of meso- and metathorax as are those of abdominal segments 1–8 separated from each other as a pair of plates, subequal in size; the shape more or less round pentagonal; any corners more or less rounded; the margins lightly pale margined, broadened at the lateral margins to form pale spots; lateral margins arcuate, expanded to laterad; hind margins also arcuate; inner margins straight and parallel-sided to each other. Legs are four segmented – short cylindrical coxae with bases widely separated; elongate trochanters joining femora obliquely; tibiotarsus terminated by a single claw. In contrast with previous treatments the leg segments are attributed to coxa, trochanter, femur and tibiotarsus.\nABDOMEN (Figs 8–9) (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82). Each tergite of abdominal segments 1–8, as are those of the meso- and metathorax, is separated as a pair of plates, similar form to those of meso- and metathoracic terga, more or less round pentagonal, diminishing slightly in both length and width toward posterior ones, not forming any corners; the margins lightly pale margined, broadened at the lateral margins to form pale spots; segment 9 has a single round tergal plate, with the margin also lightly pale margined as in segments 1–8; pale posterior margin often widens slightly to form a narrow pale spot; abdominal tergal width decreasing a little towards posterior end, ventral surface of all but terminal abdominal segment (segment 9) with paired laterotergites bearing gills at the sides (visible along sides of body as lateral projections); median sternal element in each of abdominal segments 1–8 margined by elongate slender laterosternites but these areas difficult to discern in soft bodied larvae; (laterosternites appear membranous on segment 8 which houses the light organs).\nDEFENSIVE ORGANS. With 10 pairs of similar pale white, forked eversible defensive organs (Okada 1928: fig. 1a; Kanda 1935: 57–58, pl. 5-5; Trice et al. 2004: 2; Fu et al. 2009: fig. 4; 2012b: figs 7–12) located laterally on the meso- and metathorax, and above the tracheal gills on each of the 8 abdominal segments; these organs arise in the thorax in folds of membrane on the upper side of the laterotergites and just below the lateral margins of the tergal plates, and in the abdomen above the abdominal laterotergites and below the lateral margins of the tergal plates; organs have protuberances on their external surface, each composed of a well-developed globular body attached to a long thick stalk; globular bodies consist of secretory cells.\nPYGOPODIA (Fig. 8, partly visible in Fig. 9A). On the external surfaces of the tubular larval eversible holdfast organs, numerous hook-shaped protuberances grow in circular rows on each tube.\nList of species of Nipponoluciola gen. nov.\nNipponoluciola cruciata (Motschulsky, 1854) gen. et comb. nov.\nNipponoluciola owadai (Satô \u0026 Kimura, 1994) gen. et comb. nov.\nKey to species of Nipponoluciola gen. nov. using males\n1.

BD75E8CA-BC67-4597-A0A5-6BCEF5BA7B4F\nFigs 1‒3, 5‒12\nType species\nLuciola cruciata Motschulsky, 1854, designated here.\nDiagnosis\nNipponoluciola gen. nov. is a genus of Japanese Luciolinae fireflies and consists of two species both of which have aquatic larvae with abdominal gills. While Nipponoluciola belongs to that group of 18 genera of Luciolinae where the aedeagus in the male has the LL widely visible at the side of the ML (Ballantyne et al. 2019), it is one of only two genera in this group of 18 (the other is Missimia) where the elytral epipleuron at its base is very narrow and when viewed from beneath in a horizontal specimen the humerus is widely visible in both males and females (Fig. 3A–C). In the other genera of Luciolinae with LL visible at the sides of the ML the base of the elytral epipleuron is expanded, and the humerus is not visible from below in a horizontal specimen (example in Fig. 3D). It is distinguished from Missimia by distribution (Missimia is a rare genus known only from four specimens taken in the New Guinean highlands), and the unique feature of Missimia, where the labrum and clypeus are immovably joined (Fig. 4E; Table 1; Ballantyne \u0026 Lambkin 2009: figs 27, 29–30, 32). The clypeolabral suture in Nipponoluciola is flexible. It is distinguished from the genus Aquatica, with which it shares similar aquatic larvae bearing abdominal gills, by the following features: Aquatica species adult males may have pale margined elytra (Fig. 4A), the elytral epipleuron at its base is wide (Fig. 3D), the LO in V7 is usually retracted from the posterior margin (Fig. 4B), the lateral margins of V7 are not angulated, both left and right margins of the posterior area of the sheath sternite have pointed projections, the aedeagal basal piece is not notched (Fig. 4C–D). Females have thin paired bursa plates (Fu et al. 2010). See Table 2.\nMales have black elytra and the pronotum may have median dark brownish to blackish markings and an underlying pink fat body (in N. cruciata) (Figs 1, 2G, 6), or have no dark markings and underlying yellowish orange fat body (in N. owadai) (Figs 1, 2H). Females are coloured like males, and are larger, macropterous, with spermatophore digesting gland, no obvious bursa plates and a small transverse median oviduct plate in N. cruciata (Fig. 7). Larvae (Figs 8–9) are aquatic, have forked gills along the sides of the abdominal segments 1–8 and apical sense organs on maxillary and labial palpomeres. Distinguished most obviously from Aquatica larvae by the differences in the markings of protergum (outlined subsequently); distinguished from A. lateralis by the unbranched setae on the dorsal surface of the mandibles, and the absence of microspines on pale areas of paired tergites of meso- and metathoraces, and abdominal segments 1–8 (Okada 1928: figs 2‒3, 2‒4 depicted but did not name these microspines; IK confirmed their presence in A. lateralis).\nEtymology\nThe generic name seeks to honour the country of origin of these two species and their status as celebrated icons. ‘Nippon’ is the Japanese name for Japan, and Luciola represents the genus to which these species were formerly assigned. Gender: feminine.\nDescription\nMale (Figs 1–3, 5–6, 10‒12)\nPRONOTUM (Figs 1–2). Punctation dense; anterior margin broadly rounded and projecting beyond rounded obtuse anterolateral corners, slightly so in owadai; lateral margins slightly divergent, the pronotum being wider across its posterior area than elsewhere (C\u003eA, B), width (C) subequal to humeral width; posterolateral corners narrowed, apically rounded, slightly less than 90°, projecting posteriorly slightly beyond median posterior margin, which is not emarginated, and separated from it by welldefined emarginations. Pronotal colour variations depicted in Fig. 6 are discussed under Nipponoluciola cruciata gen. et comb. nov.\nHYPOMERA. Not well flattened; pronotal width/GHW 1.43–1.47.\nELYTRON (Figs 1–3). Punctation dense, not linear, not as large as that of pronotum, nor widely and evenly spaced; apices not deflexed, nor emarginated; epipleuron and sutural ridge extend beyond mid-point, almost to apex but not extending around apex, neither thickened in apical half; with three interstitial lines of which the inner two interstitial lines are well defined; in horizontal specimen viewed from below epipleuron at elytral base narrow with humerus visible; viewed from above in horizontal specimen anterior margin of epipleuron arises well behind the posterior margin of MS (Fig. 3A, C); epipleuron developed as a lateral ridge along most of length; sutural margins approximate along most of length in closed elytra; lateral margins parallel-sided.\nHEAD (Figs 1–2). Gently depressed between eyes; at least anterior portion exposed in front of pronotum, not capable of complete retraction within prothoracic cavity at rest; eyes moderately separated beneath at level of posterior margin of mouthpart complex; frons-vertex junction not defined this area rounded, posterolateral eye excavation not developed; antennal sockets on head between eyes, close but not contiguous, ASD subequal to ASW; clypeolabral suture present, flexible, not in front of anterior eye margin when head viewed with labrum horizontal; outer edges of labrum reach inner edges of closed mandibles. Mouthparts: functional; apical labial palpomere flattened, shaped like a broad triangle, longer than wide, with inner edge dentate. Antennae (Fig. 1) 11 segmented; approximately 2× GHW; FS simple elongate; GHW/SIW 3.70–4.50.\nLEGS (Figs 1–2). Without MFC; no legs with curved or expanded femora or tibiae; no basitarsi expanded or excavated.\nABDOMEN (Fig. 2F). No ventrites with curved posterior margins nor extending anteriorly into emarginated posterior margin of anterior segment. LO in V7 entire, LO present in V6, occupying almost all V6 (Jeng et al. 2003: figs 7, 9). V7 with elongate apically rounded MPP and angulate lateral areas which are not prolonged and correspond to where PLP would originate in other species. T7 without prolonged anterolateral corners; T8 not heavily sclerotised; no concealed anterolateral arms of T8 and the anterolateral corners scarcely produced (see Jeng et al. 2003: figs 21–22); lateral margins subparallel sided; posterior margin evenly rounded and entire; T8 ventral surface smooth even without any ridges or projections.\nAEDEAGAL SHEATH (Fig. 5). Approx. 1.94–2.12 times as long as wide; without bulbous paraprocts; symmetrical in anterior half where sheath sternite tapers evenly to a broadly rounded apex; lateral arms of sheath tergite widely visible from below on left, narrowly on right; posterior area of sternite (posterior to the articulation of the tergite arms) narrow, emarginated on both sides (depending on orientation it may appear to be more deeply emarginated on right side) with margin even, without projections, and sternite apex rounded; tergite broad with anterior margin slightly and evenly emarginated; no obvious subdivision into more than one segment observed; posterior margin entire and evenly rounded; tergite projecting about as far as apex of sternite.\nAEDEAGUS (Figs 5, 10–12). Subparallel sided; basal piece well defined and usually with distinctive, asymmetrical median notch; LL widely visible beside ML; LL of similar length, slightly shorter than ML; width across LL, (measured from beneath), much wider than width across widest part of median lobe (3‒3.3); ML slender gradually narrowing in apical 1/7; apices of LL with ventral surfaces broad, slightly curved and hairy. Differences in aedeagal patterns in Nipponoluciola cruciata gen. et comb. nov. are addressed under that species in Figs 10‒12.\nFemale (Fig. 7)\nMacropterous and flight capable.\nBODY LENGTH. 14.0– 18.4 mm (Jeng et al. (2003) listed a range of 15.0– 18.6 mm long).\nCOLOUR (Fig. 7A, C–D). As for male except white LO restricted to V6, pinkish fat bodies beneath V 7 in cruciata, or V7 completely black and underlying fat body not visible in owadai; black V8 with paired semitransparent areas; all tergites black except for T7 which has a median dark band and semitransparent lateral areas under which pink fat bodies are visible in cruciata.\nPRONOTUM (Fig. 7). Outline as for male; pronotal width/GHW 1.88–2.20.\nHEAD. GHW/SIW 2.67–2.90.\nABDOMEN (Fig. 7C–D, I). Lateral margins of V8 taper posteriorly, V8 with shallow median posterior emargination; anterior apodeme of V8 well sclerotised and separated from posterior area of V8 by clear transparent cuticle (Fig. 7I).\nREPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (Fig. 7E‒H, J). Spermatophore digesting gland well defined usually with particulate remnants inside; spermatheca with expanded non sclerotised base; no obvious bursa plates; median oviduct plate well defined (Fig. 7G–H), anterior margin curved and irregular, lateral margins straight and converging slightly posteriorly, posterior margin slightly and broadly emarginated; lying transversely in the median oviduct and curved possibly to accommodate to the outline of the duct. Ovipositor: elongate slender (Fig. 7J).\nLarva (Figs 8A–B, 9A‒H) (see also Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82)\nDORSAL SURFACE (Figs 8–9). With 3 thoracic and 9 obvious abdominal segments of which abdominal segments 1–8 bear lateral tracheal gills which are forked and compound, with a non-functional spiracle located at the end of the shorter branch. A narrow ring of cuticle at the posterior end of segment 9 has been attributed to segment 10 (Ballantyne \u0026 Menayah 2002: figs 2–3; Nada et al. 2021) and may be completely covered and concealed by the posterior margin of segment 9 from above in aquatic species, but visible from beneath. Lawrence \u0026 Ślipiński (2013) consider that segment 10 has been transformed into the holdfast organ (pygopodia) at the end of the abdomen. We refer to abdominal terga 1‒9 only as these are clearly visible. Elongate, tapering at front and behind, membranous and very soft bodied, and somewhat flattened. The thorax and abdomen are almost membranous, with ventral sclerites degenerate and extent barely demarcated by wrinkles or folds, except for a single coloured dorsal plate on both the prothorax and abdominal segment 9, and paired well sclerotised and coloured tergites on the meso and metathorax, and abdominal segments 1–8. A wide membranous area/line extends from the anterior margin of the mesothorax to the posterior margin of abdominal segment 8. Without laterally explanate tergal margins thus laterotergites and gills visible from above.\nVENTRAL SURFACE (Fig. 9B, D, F). The extent of the following areas in very soft bodied aquatic larvae is often difficult to determine. A lateral pleural suture delimits laterotergites above in the thorax and abdomen (e.g., Ballantyne \u0026 Menayah 2002: fig. 1; Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82). In the thorax the median ventral surface of both meso and metathorax is subdivided into two areas by a sternocostal suture running anterior to the coxae, an anterior basisternum with laterotergites at the sides in the mesothorax; (in terrestrial larvae these mesothoracic laterotergites bear functional spiracles, but spiracles were not clearly visible in the larvae examined); a posterior median subrectangular sternellum bears the legs and is margined laterally by laterotergites; the episterna and epimera of both the meso and metathorax are visible above the coxae of the meso and metathoracic legs as thin dark sclerotised plates (see interpretation in Fu et al. 2012b: 5). This subdivision does not extend to the dorsal surface. In the abdominal segments 1–8 a median subrectangular area is attributed to the sternum; this is margined laterally by elongate narrow paired laterosternites, which are delimited by folds from the median sternal plate below, and the laterotergites above; in this aquatic genus the absence of any additional colour on the ventral surface makes interpretation of these areas difficult, and they may be incompletely distinguished only by folds in the membrane; laterotergites of segments 1–8 bear branched gills. Eversible branched defensive organs arise at the sides of the meso and metathorax, and abdominal segments 1–8, in the membrane at the sides of the terga of those segments and above the laterotergites of the abdomen (see below).\nHEAD (Fig. 8C) (Kanda 1935: fig. 13; Hara 1962: figs 1, 5; Fu et al. 2012b: figs 25–30, 69). Subparallel sided, dorsoventrally flattened, prognathous, well sclerotised, with an ocellus at each side; not visible when retracted into the prothoracic cavity; extensible neck membrane forming two layered envelope around retracted head; capable of considerable extension beyond the anterior protergal margin; head capsule divisible into median dorsal frontoclypeus, bounded laterally by the U shaped frontal arms of the ecdysial line (= epicranial suture); lateral parietal plates at the sides of the frontoclypeus are separated behind by the epicranial stem and are reflexed ventrally but not meeting; maxillae and labium fused forming a maxillolabial complex covering most of ventral head area.\nANTENNAE (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 27–29). Slender, cylindrical, 3 segmented, with elongated scape and pedicel, and apical very short (3 rd) segment (the flagellum), with apical sensilla, subequal in length to adjacent sense cone; elongate ‘articulating membrane’ forms two layered envelope around retracted antenna.\nMOUTHPARTS (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 25, 29, 69). Well developed; mandibles falcate, strongly sclerotised; densely covered in fine hair along outer margins; densely pubescent along basal half of inner margins; perforated along length by a fine canal that opens on the outer margin just behind the apex; without a basal retinaculum; fine reticulate sculpture on the dorsal surface; with a row of elongate curved setae arising in a line just inside the outer margin. Maxillae with short, squat, four segmented palp bearing sense organs at the apex of segment 4; basal segment (which may be interpreted as the palpifer) large and well defined, segments 2 and 3 very short and diminishing in width towards apex, apical segment longer and narrower than palpomere 3, with apical sense organs; palp may obscure galea, which is long, thin, two segmented, bearing long and short setae at apex, and on its inner margin an elongate, flattened, dense profusion of anteromedially directed hairs (lacinia); cardo well defined, articulating with broad elongate stipes; fused along its outer edges with the reflexed head margins, and along its inner margins with the median labium. Labium with two segmented labial palpi, bearing sense organs at the apex of segment 2, and arising at anterolateral corners of small prementum which lacks a ligula; apical palpomere elongate conical with two or three peg-like sensilla on the sides; anterior area of prementum densely covered by minute spines on both sides of dorsal surface; postmentum elongate, not well sclerotised and colourless, and joined along sides by membrane to the cardines.\nTHORAX (Figs 8–9) (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82). Prothorax longer than wide, and containing retracted head within; with ventral surface little differentiated. Protergum elongate or elliptical, with lateral margins arcuate and shallowly expanded laterad, divergent posteriorly; anterior and posterior margins rounded and widely arcuate, connecting directly to lateral margins without forming corners. Each tergite of meso- and metathorax as are those of abdominal segments 1–8 separated from each other as a pair of plates, subequal in size; the shape more or less round pentagonal; any corners more or less rounded; the margins lightly pale margined, broadened at the lateral margins to form pale spots; lateral margins arcuate, expanded to laterad; hind margins also arcuate; inner margins straight and parallel-sided to each other. Legs are four segmented – short cylindrical coxae with bases widely separated; elongate trochanters joining femora obliquely; tibiotarsus terminated by a single claw. In contrast with previous treatments the leg segments are attributed to coxa, trochanter, femur and tibiotarsus.\nABDOMEN (Figs 8–9) (Fu et al. 2012b: figs 81–82). Each tergite of abdominal segments 1–8, as are those of the meso- and metathorax, is separated as a pair of plates, similar form to those of meso- and metathoracic terga, more or less round pentagonal, diminishing slightly in both length and width toward posterior ones, not forming any corners; the margins lightly pale margined, broadened at the lateral margins to form pale spots; segment 9 has a single round tergal plate, with the margin also lightly pale margined as in segments 1–8; pale posterior margin often widens slightly to form a narrow pale spot; abdominal tergal width decreasing a little towards posterior end, ventral surface of all but terminal abdominal segment (segment 9) with paired laterotergites bearing gills at the sides (visible along sides of body as lateral projections); median sternal element in each of abdominal segments 1–8 margined by elongate slender laterosternites but these areas difficult to discern in soft bodied larvae; (laterosternites appear membranous on segment 8 which houses the light organs).\nDEFENSIVE ORGANS. With 10 pairs of similar pale white, forked eversible defensive organs (Okada 1928: fig. 1a; Kanda 1935: 57–58, pl. 5-5; Trice et al. 2004: 2; Fu et al. 2009: fig. 4; 2012b: figs 7–12) located laterally on the meso- and metathorax, and above the tracheal gills on each of the 8 abdominal segments; these organs arise in the thorax in folds of membrane on the upper side of the laterotergites and just below the lateral margins of the tergal plates, and in the abdomen above the abdominal laterotergites and below the lateral margins of the tergal plates; organs have protuberances on their external surface, each composed of a well-developed globular body attached to a long thick stalk; globular bodies consist of secretory cells.\nPYGOPODIA (Fig. 8, partly visible in Fig. 9A). On the external surfaces of the tubular larval eversible holdfast organs, numerous hook-shaped protuberances grow in circular rows on each tube.\nList of species of Nipponoluciola gen. nov.\nNipponoluciola cruciata (Motschulsky, 1854) gen. et comb. nov.\nNipponoluciola owadai (Satô \u0026 Kimura, 1994) gen. et comb. nov.\nKey to species of Nipponoluciola gen. nov. using males\n1.

It is possible to distinguish Nipponoluciola gen. nov. from other Luciolinae genera by the following, without the need for a complicated generic key.\nOf those Luciolinae genera with LL visible at the sides of the ML, only two genera have a narrow base to the elytral epipleuron such that the elytral humerus is visible from beneath if the specimens are held horizontally (Fig. 3), Missimia and Nipponoluciola gen. nov. Missimia (Figs 4E‒H; Table 1) is a rare genus known from four specimens collected in the New Guinea highlands, distinguished most obviously from Nipponoluciola by its pale brown dorsal colouration, its distribution in the New Guinea highlands, the acute posterolateral corners of the pronotum in males, the inflexible nature of the clypeolabral suture, the absence of a median notch in the aedeagal basal piece, and the presence of a well-defined and depressed area on the outer margins of the lateral lobes of the aedeagus bearing setae (Ballantyne \u0026 Lambkin 2009: figs 21–22, 27, 29–30, 32‒34, 246‒254). The two species of Nipponoluciola have black elytra, are known only from Japan including the Ryukyu Islands, the posterolateral corners of the pronotum are rounded, the clypeolabral suture is flexible, most aedeagi examined have a median notch in the basal piece, and there is no depressed setae bearing area on the outer margins of the lateral lobes of the aedeagus (Figs 1, 2G‒H, 5).\nList of genera of Luciolinae having aquatic larvae\nFu et al.
