Lampyridae (Coleoptera): A plethora of mollicute associations

Microbial Ecology, 1992
Beetles (Coleoptera) harbor many species ofAcholeplasma andSpiroplasma (division Tenericutes, class Mollicutes). Mollicutes were isolated from guts and/or hemocoels of firefly beetles (Lampyridae) from the United States (Maryland and West Virginia), Ecuador, and Tobago.

An Overview of the Firefly Genus Pygoluciola Wittmer, a Phylogeny of the Luciolinae Using Mitochondrial Genomes, a Description of Six New Species, and an Assessment of a Copulation Clamp in This Genus (Coleoptera: Lampyridae: Luciolinae)

Insects
Simple Summary The firefly genus Pygoluciola was thought to be rare, as few specimens were to be found in museums. It is now known from 28 species, many from mainland China. While in the past, we used features of the males to identify genera and species,

Habitat-specific distribution and density of fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae): a comparative study between grassland and woodland habitats

Journal of Threatened Taxa
Habitat plays a crucial role in the survival of insect species, with many restricted to or thriving in particular environments. This study examines the population densities and flight heights of fireflies across different habitats.
