菌核菌Ballantyne Gen.11月是为七个物种建立的。水生菌核(Thancharoen，2007)，SCL.Brahmina(布尔乔亚，1890)，SCL.Carinata(Gorham，1880)，scl.弗拉维达(Hope，1845)，SCL.Seriata(Olivier，1891)和scl.Substriata(Gorham，1880)是从Luciola Laporte转移而来的。[医]菌核11月来自中国的被描述为新的。Cingulata Luciola cingulata Olivier，1885是亚种Luciola substriata Gorham的异名。Luciola formosana Pic，1916是一个新异名，新命名为Luciola flavida(Hope)。男性的特征是线形的椭圆形标点，在尾端鞘周围有一组三个斑点，在腹膜7中有一个前缘边缘模糊的发光器。相关的雌性缺乏法氏囊板。与三个物种相关的幼虫是背部游泳者，具有严重硬化的外骨骼和变中和性呼吸系统。男性和相关联的女性是关键字。对3个种的中国种群的分子证据分析表明，菌核是单系的。11月与其他属的明显分离。11月由Tri.描述。Pimpasalee Gen.ET sp.11月从泰国来的。它表面上与菌核属相似。11月但更大的标本似乎与相似颜色的SCL混淆了。亚纹状(Gorham)梳。11月雄性的不同之处在于腹叶7有一个细长的三角形发光器，在尾端的鞘周围没有硬骨块。幼虫之间没有可靠的联系，但可能是水生的。
Sclerotia Ballantyne gen. nov. is established for seven species. Sclerotia aquatilis (Thancharoen, 2007), Scl. brahmina (Bourgeois, 1890), Scl. carinata (Gorham, 1880), Scl. flavida (Hope, 1845), Scl. seriata (Olivier, 1891), and Scl. substriata (Gorham, 1880) are transferred from Luciola Laporte. Sclerotia fui sp. nov. from China is described as new. Luciola cingulata Olivier, 1885 is synonymised with Luciola substriata Gorham. Luciola formosana Pic, 1916 is removed from synonymy with Luciola substriata and newly synonymised with Luciola flavida (Hope). Males are characterised by linear elytral punctation, a set of three sclerites surrounding the aedeagal sheath and a light organ in ventrite 7 with emarginated anterior margin. Associated females lack bursa plates. Larvae associated for three species are back swimmers, having heavily sclerotised exoskeleton and a metapneustic respiratory system. Males and associated females are keyed. Analysis of molecular evidence for Chinese populations of three species indicates monophyly of Sclerotia Ballantyne gen. nov. and distinct separation from other genera.Triangulara Pimpasalee gen. nov. is described from Tri. frontoflava Pimpasalee gen. et sp. nov. from Thailand. It is superficially similar to Sclerotia gen. nov. but larger, and specimens in collections appear to have been confused with the similarly coloured Scl. substriata (Gorham) comb. nov. Males differ in having an elongate triangular light organ in ventrite 7 and are without sclerites around the aedeagal sheath. Larvae are not reliably associated but may be aquatic.
