          Abstract

          Resumen Se sintetiza la información de luciérnagas de la región norte-occidente de México, que abarca los estados de Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Sinaloa, Durango, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Nayarit, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Colima y Michoacán. Se comentan 67 especies de las 69 registradas, que corresponden a los géneros Ankonophallus Zaragoza-Caballero y Navarrete-Heredia, 2014 (2), Aspisoma Laporte, 1833 (4), Aspisomoides Zaragoza-Caballero, 1995 (2), Bicellonycha Motschulsky, 1853 (5), Chespirito Ferreira, Keller y Branham, 2020 (1), Cratomorphus Motschulsky, 1853 (3), Microphotus LeConte, 1866 (7), Nelsonphotus Cicero,2006 (1), Paracratomorphus Zaragoza-Caballero, 2013 (1), Photinoides McDermott, 1963 (1), Photinus Laporte, 1833 (25), Photuris Dejean, 1833 (2), Pleotomus LeConte, 1861 (3), Prolutacea Cicero, 2006 (1), Pterotus LeConte, 1859 (1), Pyractomena Melsheimer, 1846 (1), Pyropyga Motschulsky, 1852 (8) y Tenaspis LeConte, 1881(1). Se describen e ilustran 48 especies nuevas pertenecientes al género Photinus, incluyendo por primera vez una especie de luciérnaga para Zacatecas. Se presentan 2 claves, una para la identificación de los géneros de Lampyridae y otra para el reconocimiento de las especies de Photinus de la región. Además, se reportan registros nuevos estatales para 9 especies. Se reconoce a México como un centro de diversificación del género Photinus.

          Abstract Information on fireflies from the north-western región of Mexico is provided, which includes the states of Aguascalientes, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Colima, Durango, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Nuevo León, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Sonora, and Zacatecas. Sixty-seven species of 69 that have been recorded in the northwestern region of Mexico are commented. These species belong to the genera: Ankonophallus Zaragoza-Caballero y Navarrete-Heredia, 2014 (2), Aspisoma Laporte, 1833 (4), Aspisomoides Zaragoza-Caballero, 1995 (2), Bicellonycha Motschulsky, 1853 (5), Chespirito Ferreira, Keller y Branham, 2020 (1), Cratomorphus Motschulsky, 1853 (3), Microphotus LeConte, 1866 (7), Nelsonphotus Cicero,2006 (1), Paracratomorphus Zaragoza-Caballero, 2013 (1), Photinoides McDermott, 1963 (1), Photinus Laporte, 1833 (25), Photuris Dejean, 1833 (2), Pleotomus LeConte, 1861 (3), Prolutacea Cicero, 2006 (1), Pterotus LeConte, 1859 (1), Pyractomena Melsheimer, 1846 (1), Pyropyga Motschulsky, 1852 (8) and Tenaspis LeConte, 1881(1). Additionally, 48 new species belonging to Photinus are described and illustrated, one of them is the first species described from Zacatecas. Two keys are presented, one to segregate the genera of Lampyridae, the other to identify the species of Photinus present in the region. Moreover, new state records are reported. Mexico is recognized as a diversification center of the genera Photinus.

            A Global Perspective on Firefly Extinction Threats

            Insect declines and their drivers have attracted considerable recent attention. Fireflies and glowworms are iconic insects whose conspicuous bioluminescent courtship displays carry unique cultural significance, giving them economic value as ecotourist attractions. Despite evidence of declines, a comprehensive review of the conservation status and threats facing the approximately 2000 firefly species worldwide is lacking. We conducted a survey of experts from diverse geographic regions to identify the most prominent perceived threats to firefly population and species persistence. Habitat loss, light pollution, and pesticide use were regarded as the most serious threats, although rankings differed substantially across regions. Our survey results accompany a comprehensive review of current evidence concerning the impact of these stressors on firefly populations. We also discuss risk factors likely to increase the vulnerability of certain species to particular threats. Finally, we highlight the need to establish monitoring programs to track long-term population trends for at-risk firefly taxa.

              Higher-Level Phylogeny and Reclassification of Lampyridae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea)

              Fireflies (Lampyridae Rafinesque) are a diverse family of beetles which exhibit an array of morphologies including varying antennal and photic organ features. Due in part to their morphological diversity, the classification within the Lampyridae has long been in flux. Here we use an anchored hybrid enrichment approach to reconstruct the most extensive molecular phylogeny of Lampyridae to date (436 loci and 98 taxa) and use this phylogeny to evaluate the higher-level classification of the group. None of the currently recognized subfamilies were recovered as monophyletic with high support. We propose several classification changes supported by both phylogenetic and morphological evidence: 1) Pollaclasis Newman, Vestini McDermott (incl. Vesta Laporte, Dodacles Olivier, Dryptelytra Laporte, and Ledocas Olivier), Photoctus McDermott, and Araucariocladus Silveira & Mermudes are transferred to Lampyridae incertae sedis, 2) Psilocladinae Mcdermott, 1964status novum is reestablished for the genus Psilocladus Blanchard, 3) Lamprohizini Kazantsev, 2010 is elevated to Lamprohizinae Kazantsev, 2010status novum and Phausis LeConte is transferred to Lamprohizinae, 4) Memoan Silveira and Mermudes is transferred to Amydetinae Olivier, and 5) Scissicauda McDermott is transferred to Lampyrinae Rafinesque.
