Abstract

An updated revision of the firefly genus Phausis LeConte (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) and the first phylogenetic analysis of all assigned species is herein presented. This treatment includes the description of three new species (Phausis branhami sp. nov., Phausis christineae sp. nov., and Phausis milleri sp. nov.), designation of the neotype of Phausis reticulata (Say, 1825) and lectotype of Phausis inaccensa (LeConte, 1878), descriptions of male aedeagi, and a key to species. A phylogenetic analysis of 13 ingroup taxa and 2 outgroup taxa with a total of 67 morphological characters was also conducted. The resulting phylogenetic hypothesis supports the monophyly of Phausis as presently defined and the evolution of adult bioluminescence as a derived character. A discussion of whether Lamprohiza splendidula (Linnaeus, 1767) should be assigned to Phausis LeConte is also presented.

摘要

本文给出了萤火虫属（Phausis LeConte，鞘翅目：萤科）的最新修订版，并对所有已归属物种进行了首次系统发育分析。该研究涵盖了三个新物种（布兰汉姆萤火虫新种Phausis branhami sp. nov.、克里斯蒂娜萤火虫新种Phausis christineae sp. nov.和米勒萤火虫新种Phausis milleri sp. nov.）的描述、网纹萤火虫（Phausis reticulata，Say，1825）新模标本的指定以及不显眼萤火虫（Phausis inaccensa，LeConte，1878）选模标本的指定、雄性外生殖器的描述以及物种检索表。还对13个类群内分类单元和2个类群外分类单元进行了系统发育分析，共涉及67个形态特征。所得出的系统发育假说支持当前所定义的Phausis属的单系性以及成虫生物发光作为一个衍生特征的演化。此外，还讨论了华丽亮萤（Lamprohiza splendidula，Linnaeus，1767）是否应归属到Phausis LeConte属。
