Current name Photuris homonyma Blackwelder, 1945 View in CoL , synonymy by McDermott (1966).

A single female was located, corresponding to the one specimen that Gorham (1884) both examined and figured. This single specimen bears the “Sp. figured” and therefore is confidently determined to be the holotype specimen. Labels for the determined holotype specimen are as follows: “ ♀ ” “Type” “V. de Chiriqui,/ 2-3000 ft. / Champion.” “B.C.A.Col.III.(2)./ Photuris /livida,/Gorham ♀ ” “ Photuris /livida/Gorham ♀ ” “Type. /Sp. figured.” “Pyrogaster/ livida Gor. /I.H. Davidson det. 1973”. A red label is added with the following text: “ HOLOTYPE / Photuris livida Gorham /Determined by/Martin and Saxton 2020”.
