继Luciola praeusta Kiesenwetter 1874之后，Apricata circumdata（Motschulsky）是最近发现的第二种印度萤火虫。在这里，我们提出了稳态和时间分辨测量的生物发光的男性标本，这个新发现的物种。在高分辨率光谱仪中记录的稳态光谱显示峰值波长在570 nm处，而在玻璃光谱仪中的彩色胶片上记录的峰值波长在579 nm处，位于绿色和红色带之间，这促使人们推测，在该物种的发射光谱中可能存在像L一样的尖锐的激光线。praeusta。光栅产生的衍射图样巩固了这一论点。在示波器中记录的闪光显示出与主脉冲相结合的小脉冲的外观，其在低温和高温下都变得突出。
After Luciola praeusta Kiesenwetter 1874, Asymmetricata circumdata (Motschulsky) is the second Indian species of firefly identified recently. Here we present steady-state and time-resolved measurements of bioluminescence emissions of male specimens of this new-found species. Steady-state spectra recorded in a high-resolution spectrometer show the peak wave-length at 570 nm, while the same on a colour film in a glass spectrograph show the peak at 579 nm between green and red bands, which prompts speculation that a sharp, laser-like line might exist in the emission spectrum of this species just as the one in L. praeusta. The diffraction pattern produced by a grating consolidates this proposition. Flashes recorded in an oscilloscope reveal the appearance of a small pulse in combination with the main one, which becomes prominent both at low and high temperatures.
