281FA718B3365F10BF93125E93FBD223.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (based on adult male). Emeia belongs to a group of Luciolinae in which the males have aedeagal parameres widely visible beside the phallus (Ballantyne et al. 2013). Emeia differs from Aquatica wuhana Fu & Ballantyne, 2010 and A. lateralis Motschulsky, 1860, which have black marks on the pronotum (Fu et al. 2010). Emeia is distinguished from Curtos Motschulsky, 1845, as the species in Curtos have a distinctive longitudinal elytral humeral carina and parameres unequal in length (Fu et al. 2012). Emeia is closely related to Pygoluciola based on our cox 1 phylogeny (Fig. 2), but the two genera can be distinguished by the shape of the pronotum, with median anterior margin gently rounded or slightly medianly emarginate in Pygoluciola (Ballantyne and Lambkin 2006) versus lateral margins of pronotum almost parallel in Emeia.	en	Zhu, Cheng-Qi, Xu, Xiao-Dong, Zhen, Ying (2022): Systematic review of the firefly genus Emeia Fu, Ballantyne & Lambkin, 2012 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) from China.

48F99E78A1CE5C9E8F7EC5FEE96CB314.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (based on adult male). The new species can be differentiated from E. pseudosauteri Fu, Ballantyne & Lambkinby the elytron, hindwing venation and aedeagus. In fresh specimens, the elytral apices are black in E. pulchra (Fig. 3), but with a narrow orange stripe in E. pseudosauteri (Fig. 8). In the male hindwing, the upper vein of the MP 3 + 4 venation in E. pulchra reaches the margin of the hind wings without forks (n = 2) (Fig. 4). In E. pseudosauteri, the upper vein of MP 3 + 4 forks and reaches the margin of the hind wings (n = 2) (Fig. 10). The aedeagus in E. pulchra is approx. 3 times as long as wide (length 1.77 mm: width 0.58 mm) (Fig. 6 A), versus approx. 2 times as long as wide (length 1.66 mm: width 0.84 mm) in E. pseudosauteri (Fig. 12 A).	en	Zhu, Cheng-Qi, Xu, Xiao-Dong, Zhen, Ying (2022): Systematic review of the firefly genus Emeia Fu, Ballantyne & Lambkin, 2012 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) from China.

Elytra elongated, dark brown to black, apices not deflexed in dorsal view, sides slightly convex. Hind wing well developed, r 3 half the length of r 4 (Fig. 4). Legs long and straight, without swelling on any part, dark brown to black, with dense white hairs. Abdomen. Dark brown, ventrites gradually diminishing in length posterad. Light organs yellow-white, occupying almost all of V 6 and half of V 7, not reaching to posterior edges of V 7. V 6 and V 7 rounded laterally (Fig. 5), posterior half of V 7 not arched in dorsal view, abruptly narrowed to truncate posterior apex, apex emarginate (Fig. 5 C). T 7 rounded, without anterolateral corners (Fig. 5 A); T 8 symmetrical with concealed anterolateral arms, widest across middle with lateral margins subparallel-sided in anterior half, tapering evenly in posterior half to a rounded and partly truncate posterior margin (Fig. 5 B). Abdominal spiracles on lateral edges of each abdominal segments. EL / EW = 4.7 - 4.8; EL / PL = 4.7 - 5.0 (n = 3). Male genitalia (Fig. 6): Aedeagal sheath (T 9, T 10, S 9) (Fig. 6 D, E) 3.15 mm long; anterior half of sternite broad, apically rounded; tergite without protrusion along posterior margin of T 9. Aedeagus (Fig. 6 A-C) 1.61 mm long. Phallus short (~ 1.2 mm) and thick, broadest at midlength, becoming thinner at apex and base, parameres (lateral lobes) extending about 0.14 mm beyond phallus. Parameres robust, subparallel-sided, symmetrical, with blunt preapical lateral expansion.	en	Zhu, Cheng-Qi, Xu, Xiao-Dong, Zhen, Ying (2022): Systematic review of the firefly genus Emeia Fu, Ballantyne & Lambkin, 2012 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) from China.
