NOTE. Taxon overlooked in Fanti & Parisi’s catalogue (2024). Therefore, the Sub-Saharan fireflies consist of nine genera and subgenera and 187 species (198 taxa). Near
Photinus
in the original description (
Fairmaire, 1898
), but the description suggests
Lychnuris
according to
McDermott (1964: 8
, 19); then later
McDermott (1966: 18)
hypothesized it as?
Pyrocoelia
. The genus belongs to
Lampyrini
(
McDermott 1964: 8
, 19, 1966: 18;
Martin et al. 2019b: 11
) but is
incertae sedis
for
Olivier (1907a: 62
, 65, 69; 1910: 53, 56, 59).
