Luciola
: ''This article is about the genus of firefly beetles. For the novel by José de Alencar, see ''Lucíola''. For the ''Last Exile'' anime character, see Luciola (character).''
''Luciola'' is a genus of "flashing" fireflies〔Stanger-Hall ''et al.'' (2007)〕 (family Lampyridae), especially well-known from Japan. They are often called "Japanese fireflies", but their members range farther into Asia and reach southern Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, among other countries) and Africa. This genus is traditionally held to extend to Australia, but these species do not seem to belong herein (see below for details).
==Biological description==
Unlike some other fireflies, the females of ''Luciola'' are fully winged. Ecologically, the genus is remarkable in that the larvae of several species are aquatic. The adults of the typical ''Luciola'' are similar to those of ''Atyphella'' which was formerly included in this genus. They can be easily distinguished by the males' aedagus however, which in ''Luciola'' proper has large lateral lobes that do not taper and have elongated, slender and flattened smaller lobes along their ventral margin. The middle lobe of the males' aedagus is very slim and has a point before the tip. By contrast, the Australian group resembles ''Pyrophanes'' in its lateral lobes of the aedagus being small and not visible from beneath. But unlike in ''Pyrophanes'', the sheath of the aedagus lacks paraprocts, and the seventh ventrite of the abdomen lacks the hairy lobes and points at its hind margin.〔Fu & Ballantyne (2008)〕
Two Japanese species of ''Luciola'', collectively known as ''hotaru'' (蛍), are significant in Japanese culture and folklore. They are symbols of the ''hitodama'' (人魂 or 人玉), the souls of the newly-dead. See also the explanations at the article on the movie ''Hotaru no Haka'' ("Grave of the Fireflies") for a discussion of the cultural significance of the ''hotaru''.
