EF793858687CFF9DFF47B822D2D80475.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named for Christine Lambkin (Queensland Museum, South Brisbane, Australia). Dr. Lambkin has been collaborating with LB since 2000 trying to make sense of the Australopacific and Asian lucioline fauna. This is a small honor for 21 years of shared interest and collaboration.	en	Keller, Oliver, Ballantyne, Lesley (2021): Luciola lambkinae Keller and Ballantyne, new replacement name for Luciola roseicollis Pic, 1935 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae).

EF793858687CFF9DFF47B822D2D80475.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Rosy pink pronotum; narrow anterior dark marking may reflect retraction of fat body in this area and the dark color is probably the dark head showing through the transparent cuticle; mesoscutellum dingy yellow; elytra black and subparallel-sided; most of ventral surface (and head) black except for brown femora of hind legs (interpretation of other legs not possible), and white light organ occupying all of the terminal two abdominal ventrites except for a narrow median posterior yellowish portion; lateral margins of light organ in ventrite 7 converge posteriorly, and posterior margin truncate, with very slight broad emargination.	en	Keller, Oliver, Ballantyne, Lesley (2021): Luciola lambkinae Keller and Ballantyne, new replacement name for Luciola roseicollis Pic, 1935 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae).

EF793858687CFF9DFF47B822D2D80475.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This specimen was not dissected and thus reliable assignment to any genus is not possible. We have assigned it to the genus Luciola sensu lato, a category Ballantyne et al. (2019) used for Luciolinae species still not investigated nor assigned to any genus. This category is one of convenience and has no taxonomic standing. Pic (1935) highlighted the very slight emargination of the posterior margin of the ventrite 7 light organ (“ ultimo truncato aut paulo emarginato ”) and considered the species close to the similarly colored Luciola cerata Olivier differing in the pinkish pronotal tint with an anterior dark marking. Luciola cerata was redescribed from a lectotype designation by Fu and Ballantyne (2008) and subsequently assigned to the genus Abscondita by Ballantyne et al. (2013). It is only known from Taiwan.	en	Keller, Oliver, Ballantyne, Lesley (2021): Luciola lambkinae Keller and Ballantyne, new replacement name for Luciola roseicollis Pic, 1935 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae).

EF793858687DFF9DFF47BC8CD1EC02DF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In the absence of any reliably identified specimens this diagnosis is based on Pic’s original description. 7 mm long. With thorax rosy red, mesoscutellum yellow; elytra black; having a distinct costa (“ in disco distincte costatis ”).	en	Keller, Oliver, Ballantyne, Lesley (2021): Luciola lambkinae Keller and Ballantyne, new replacement name for Luciola roseicollis Pic, 1935 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae).

EF793858687DFF9DFF47BC8CD1EC02DF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Pic’s (1933) description relied on color patterns but he did highlight the presence of a (? single) elytral costa or ridge which is a feature of the genus Curtos Motschulsky (see Ballantyne et al. 2019) and indicated the similarity of this species to Luciola impolita Olivier, which has subsequently been assigned to Curtos. Curtos is also known to have distinctive dorsal punctation but Pic described the elytral punctation as “ minute et dense punctatis ”. We are unable to interpret what Pic intended in his description of the elytral apices as “ depressis ”. Assignment to the genus Luciola sensu lato is made under the same provisions as outlined above. Fu et al. (2010) confused the issue in referring to Luciola roseicollis Pic, 1933. While their description of color patterns followed the 1933 format, they incorrectly referenced Pic’s (1933) description of the abdomen as possibly being that of a female. Pic (1935) had described the abdomen as truncated and slightly emarginate which suggested a female.	en	Keller, Oliver, Ballantyne, Lesley (2021): Luciola lambkinae Keller and Ballantyne, new replacement name for Luciola roseicollis Pic, 1935 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae).
