Lampyris brutia Costa, 1882

Lampyris brutia Costa 1882: 34

Lampyris brutia Costa, 1881 [sic]: McDermott 1966: 3

Note. McDermott’s notecard had the incorrect date associated with this species (Fig. 1a). Costa’s manuscript was presented at a meeting on March 14, 1881, but the article was printed in 1882. There is also some confusion about the later reference cited by Geisthardt. Geisthardt (1984) cited Costa, 1881. In 1987, he cited Costa, 1884 on page 99 and Costa, 1882 on page 109 (Geisthardt 1987). In a short paragraph, Geisthardt (1999) again cited 1884 as the date of publication. Lastly, he used Costa, 1883 in an updated checklist of Italian Lampyris species (Geisthardt 2007).
