Abstract
The goal of this research stressed on the taxonomy of beetles in this year. Four
papers, one for Psephenidae and the others for Lampyridae, have been finished and
contributed. In the paper of Psephenidae, the gnus Homoeogenus is treated. Two new
species are described and some new locality records of known species are inventoried.
In the first paper concerning Lampyridae, we deal with aquatic firefly species. Though
about fifteen recorded were reported before, only six species, including one new
species from Taiwan, are identified to species and their larval stages are known. A
new subgenus Ancroluciola subg.n. is erected based on Luciola substriata Gorham
which is peculiar in both male genital segment and larva. The respiration system of
larva of L. substriata relies on functional spiracles while the other five species use
tracheal gills. This suggests that the adaptations to aquatic lives in Lampyridae had
evolved independently at least twice. The second paper about fireflies focus on the
genus Curtos. Nine species from Taiwan and Japan, including five new ones, are
treated. We also designate lectotypes and make mandatory changes for some recorded
species. The genus Cyphonocerus from Taiwan and Japan and the name of subfamily
Cyphonocerinae are revised. Nine species, including a new species from Taiwan, are
described or redescribed. The North American genus Psiclodius is closely related to
Cyphonocerus and virtually belongs to the same subfamily. Psilocladina Mcdermott
1964, based on Psilocladius, was established earlier than Cyphonocerinae Crowson
1972 and is less than 50 year-old from its establishment. According to the principles
of coordination and priori of ICZN, Psilocladinae (stat.n.) should be the valid name of
the subfamily while Cyphonocerinae is a subjective synonym of the former. All papers
briefed above will be published in November or December of 1998.
