TRIBE PHOTININI

Photinus discoideus (Sahlberg) 1823: 3 ( Lampyris ); Fleutiaux and Sallé 1890: 416; Leng and Mutchler 1922: 474; Blackwelder 1944-1957: 358; Paulian 1947b: 160. Distribution. Guadeloupe; single island endemic.

Photinus vitiosus Gemminger 1870: 120 ; McDermott 1966: 47. = Lampyris vittata Fabricius 1792: 102 ; Fleutiaux and Sallé 1890: 416 ( Photinus ) of Guadeloupe; Leng and Mutchler 1922: 477; Blackwelder 1944-1957: 359; McDermott 1966: 47. Distribution. Cuba, Guadeloupe (type locality); widespread Antilles endemic. Notes. Leng and Mutchler 1922: 477 discuss the confusion in the application of this species name and type locality, not explicitly recognized by Fleutiaux and Sallé 1890: 416. The localities of Cuba, Hispaniola, and Jamaica do not pertain to the species of Guadeloupe as recognized by Leng and Mutchler 1922: 478 but McDermott 1966: 47 does cite Cuba as a locality.
