Remarks.
Bourgeois (1905)
described as
L. antennalis
a single female from
Sri Lanka
as dorsally yellow with antennal segments 4−7 depressed. We know of three other
Luciolinae
species described as having serrate or flattened antennae (see discussion following description of
Serratia sibuyania
gen.
et
sp. nov
.
)
Luciola intricata
(Walker)
has FS 2–8 serrate and is also treated here as
species incertae.
Serratia sibuyania
gen.
et
sp. nov.
has four FS laterally expanded. The single female of
Luciola exstincta
Olivier (1886)
has FS 4−8 expanded but is a different colour to
Serratia sibuyania
gen.
et
sp. nov.
Wijekoon
et al.
(2012)
recorded the species from various locations in
Sri Lanka
but their method involved a catch and release and it is not possible to confirm their identifications. Wijekoon (pers. com.) indicated his identifications were tentative only.
