本文重新描述了萤火虫亚科萤火虫属Pyrophanes，并提供了7种萤火虫的检索表，即：apaculata Olivier，beccarii Olivier，quadrimaculata Olivier，semilimbata（Olivier）和similis Olivier。elongata Ballantyne sp. nov.和Py.描述为一新种。Macropterous女性与几个物种有2对广泛的囊plates.After形态特征的系统发育分析，扩大属描述的Pteroptyx Olivier现在容纳四个新的种与后股梳。其中三个在腹片7有一个完整的光器官，但没有雄性的外折鞘翅尖的一般标志。第一个拥有这些特征的Pteroptyx是Pt。sayangia Ballantyne sp. nov.，PT. galbina Jusoh sp. nov.和黄尾龟Pt. surabayia Ballantyne sp. nov. gombakia Ballantyne sp. nov.的鞘翅顶端外折，第7腹部有二分的发光器，但第7腹部沿着有异常的内弯裂片，这是Pyrophanes的特征。本文讨论了该种的描述，并正确地描述了其模式标本的许多形态特征。Inflata gen. nov. Boontop是为Luciola indica Motschulsky的标本而建立的，命名为Inflata indica（Motsch.）comb. nov.，并从雄性和可靠关联的雌性中描述。讨论了东南亚和南太平洋地区光甲亚科的分类现状。
The Luciolinae firefly genus Pyrophanes is redescribed and a key is provided for 7 species, viz. appendiculata Olivier, beccarii Olivier, quadrimaculata Olivier, semilimbata (Olivier) and similis Olivier, with Py. elongata Ballantyne sp. nov. and Py. similisimma Ballantyne sp. nov. described as new. Macropterous females associated for several species have 2 pairs of broad bursa plates.Following an enlarged phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters, an expanded generic description of Pteroptyx Olivier now accommodates four new species with metafemoral combs. Three of these have an entire light organ in ventrite 7 but are without the generic hallmark of deflexed elytral apices in the male. The first species of Pteroptyx to possess these features are Pt. sayangia Ballantyne sp. nov., Pt. galbina Jusoh sp. nov. and Pt. surabayia Ballantyne sp. nov. Based on a single unusual specimen Pt. gombakia Ballantyne sp. nov. is here described with deflexed elytral apices and bipartite light organ in ventrite 7, but with exceptional incurving lobes along the posterior margin of ventrite 7, which is a characteristic of Pyrophanes. The description of Luciola testacea Motschulsky is discussed and many morphological characters of its type specimen are correctly outlined. Its place as the type for Pteroptyx is addressed.Inflata gen. nov. Boontop is erected for specimens of Luciola indica Motschulsky as Inflata indica (Motsch.) comb. nov., and is described from males and reliably associated females. Discussion overviews the present situation regarding Luciolinae taxonomy of southeast Asian and the Australopacific regions.
