Introduction
The firefly fauna of th e Gr eater Anti llean isla nds Hispaniola (Haiti ) and Puer to Ri co, t he study of wh ich began in the 18th [Oli vier, 1790] and con tinued in the 19th century [Laporte, 1840; Motschulsky, 1853, 1854], has not been revi sed since Leng and Mutch ler's [1922]

treatise of t he Lycida e, La mpyri dae a nd Cantha ridae of the West Indies and Mutchl er's [1923a; 1923b] additional notes. Th ese a uthor s acknowl edged 16 species of Lampyridae of four genera , Ery throl ychnia Motschulsky, 1853, Cal lopisma Motschulsky, 1853, Pyractome na Melsheim er, 1845 an d Photinus Laporte, 1833, from Hispaniola an d nin e species and the same four gen era, wit h Ery throl ychnia replaced wit h Luci dota Laporte, 1833, from Puerto Rico. Only one species, Photinus vit tatus (Olivier, 1790), was found to occur on both islands. Leng and Mutchler [1922] and Mutchler [1923b] also listed 13 fir efly speci es from Jamaica. Subsequent studies on th e Ja maica n lam pyrids, however, ra ised the num ber of species-group taxa found on the isla nd fi rst to 44 [Barber, 1941], then to 54 [Buck, 1947], finally to 56 [McDermott & Buck, 1959] a nd added four new genera, Diphotus Barber, 1941, Microdiphot Barber, 1941, Jamphot us Ba rber , 1941 an d Pre sbyolampis Buck, 1947. Unsurprisingly, t he recent collecting on Hispaniola and Puerto Rico allows doubling the number of species and gen era of the Lam pyridae of these two isl ands as well. Leng and Mutchler [1922] separated the higher level lampyrid taxa they studied mostly by their antennal structure and placed the West Indian fireflies in genera and subfamilies alike according to the relative length and degree of flattening and serration of the antennae -- with one exception: they grouped all reddish fireflies with black elytral apices in the genus Callopisma, irrespective of their morphologies, even despite differences in their antennal structure. In fact, the above characters, being rather variable in fireflies, are of limited taxonomic value, as already noted by McDermott and Buck [1959] and McDermott [1962], and many Jamaican Photinus and all Photinus species of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, except for the obscure Ph. quadrinotatus (Motschulsky, 1854), were transferred to Diphotus or Pyractomena [Buck, 1947; McDermott, 1955; 1964]. McDermott also [1962] doubted Leng and Mutchler's placement of the West Indian taxa with long flattened antennae in Lucidota and suppressed Diphotus to a synonym of Robopus Motschulsky, 1854 [McDermott, 1964]. In the course of the present study Lucidota was found to be absent from the Greater Antilles, while the "Callopisma" species described by Leng and Mutchler were found to be not congeneric with Callopisma rufa (Olivier, 1790), the type species of the genus, belonging in most cases to Lychnacris Motschulsky, 1853, of the tribe Lamprocerini, in one case representing a new genus of the tribe Photinini, with at least some Cuban taxa being in fact Robopus. Description s of th e new l ampyrid taxa from Hispaniol a an d Puerto Rico, alon g wit h th e taxonomi c notes tha t wer e deemed n ecessary are presen ted below. As the higher cla ssifi cation of Lampyri dae i s con spicuously arti ficia l and in need of r evisi on, as pointed out by different authors [e.g., McDermott, 1964; Crowson, 1972; Branham & Wenzel, 2003], no attempt is made to assign the regarded taxa to the subfa mili es.

Material and Methods
The material studied was chiefly ethyl acetate preserved, with specimens pinned or glued on cardboard rectangles or triangles. For more detailed examination some male and/or female specimens of most of the species were relaxed in water, then, for approximately 24 hours, in 10% KOH of room temperature. Certain KOH treated parts of the body, including the aedeagi, external female genitalia and ultimate abdominal segments, were placed in microvials with glycerin. The apex of abdomen often providing better differential characters than the aedeagus, the unique specimens in most cases were not dissected.

T he n ew gen us is n amed after E. "Ch e" Gu evara, the legendary Latin American revolution ary, very popular in th e C aribbean region. B IO LOGY . N oth in g is kn ow n abou t th e biology of C heg ueva ria g en .n., except th at m ales w ere captured at lower stratu s vegetation in th e rem n an ts of th e lowland (P uerto R ico) or low m ountain (H ispaniola) forests. DIAGNO SIS. Ch eguevaria gen.n. is easily differen tiated from all other lampyrid genera by th e tribal characters, i.e., by the large, exposed and n on-retractable head, short pron otu m (Fig. 1), absen t elytral epipleu res, absen t photic organs an d symmetric aedeagus (Figs 1 4-15 ).

DIAGN OSIS. Ch eg ueva ria Kazantsev g en .n., separated as Cheguevariini tr.n., thou gh resembling certain P hengodidae in the shape and structure of the head, does not possess su ch phen godid featu res, as th e bi- or u niramose 12 -segmen ted an tenn ae, conspicu ou s clypeu s an d prom in en t ven tral ten torial groove [Crow son, 19 72 ; Wittmer, 19 76 ]. In the Ph engodidae, as well as in th e other canth aroids, it is sternite 9 that forms the gen ital capsu le with tergites 8 an d 9 (Figs 18 -19), w hereas in C hegu evariini tr.n. the large an d w iden ed tergite 8 receives sternites 8 and 9 (Figs 13 , 17 ), this type of structure ch aracteristic of the Lampyridae (e.g., Figs 2 2, 2 4, 26 , 30 , 5 0) and not reported elsewhere in the C antharoidea. As the latter condition of th e u ltim ate abdominal segmen ts is an apparent synapom orph y of th e fireflies, the new tribe is considered to be a lampyrid lineage. Th e characters that distingu ish Cheguevariini tr.n. from oth er lam pyrids, th e exposed n on -retractable h ead, sh ort pron otum , absen t elytral epipleu res, symm etric aedeagus an d absen t photic organ s, are hypoth etically plesiomorphic, as both apparently m ore primitive from the beetles evolution s t and p o in t and w ide ly s ha r e d b y t h e no n -l a m py rid cantharoids. At the same time, the enlarged head with long mandibles is hypoth esized to represent its apomorphy. Given its nu merous plesiomorphies, Cheguevariini tr.n. seems to deserve to be placed, possibly as a subfam ily, at th e root of th e Lampyridae. How ever, as the fireflies have n ever been an alyzed m orphologically and ph ylogen etically at a high er level with a satisfactory outcom e [e.g., McDermott, 196 4; Crowson, 197 2; B ran ham & Wenzel, 200 3], it is included, pendin g further stu dies, in the Lampyridae incertae sedis.

CO MME NTS. Th e h olotype of Eryth rolychn ia alb opa lpis Leng et Mutchler, 1 922 does n ot h ave any differences from the specimen of E. bipartita (E .Olivier), wh ich bears E.Olivier's identification label. In th e description E. alb opa lpis was not compared to E. bipartita [Leng & Mutchler, 19 22]. So, a new syn onymy is established: Eryth rolychn ia bipartita (E .Olivier, 1912 ) = Eryth rolychn ia alb opalpis Leng et Mu tch ler, 19 22, syn.n. E. bipartita, along w ith E. quinqu eno tata (Laporte, 184 0) and E. olivieri Len g et Mu tch ler, 19 22, forms a separate species group, differing from E. fulgida (Olivier, 1790) and allied species by the robust antenna with flattened and serrate antennomeres 3-11.

COMMENTS. As Motschulsky's [1853] description does not indicate the uniqueness of the specimen, the lectotype of Erythrolychnia d imid iatipennis is hereby designated in compliance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to clarify the application of the name to a taxon. The lectotype of E. d imid iatipennis is definitely conspesific with the USNM specimen of E. fulgida identified by E.Olivier.

Notes on biogeography
The information available on the Lampyridae of Cuba [Leng & Mutch ler, 1922; Mut chler , 1923a; 1923b] is apparent ly i ncomplete and out-of-dat e. But even wi thout exact details on t he Cuban fauna the dist ribut ion pat tern s of the Great er An till ean fireflies allow making cer tain biogeogra phic conclusions. Hispaniola an d Puerto Rico have one endemi c tri be, Chegueva riini , the only genus of which , Che guevaria, occurs on bot h islands. Of the four n on-endemi c tri bes recorded on Hispa niola and Puer to Ri co, t he cratom orphi nes, lamprocer ines and photurines are also present onl y in the Western Hemisphere, whi le th e photini nes are dist ribut ed th rough out t he Holarctic a nd Pa laeot ropical dominions. The Cratomorphini and Lamprocerini are represented by one non-endemic genus each, Pyractome na and Lyc hnacris, r espectivel y. Th e onl y photurin e genus, Pre sbyolampis, h as so far been registered onl y in Jama ica a nd Hispan iola. Of the six ph otin ine genera, four , Ery throl ychnia, Cal lopisma, Ruf olyc hnia an d Robopus, a ppear to be endemic to Hi spani ola and Puer to Ri co, t he la tter genus also undoubtedly occurrin g in Cuba . Mic rodiphot is known on ly from Jam aica and Hispan iola, whil e Het erophotinus is believed t o be present i n the Neot ropics as well [McDermott, 1964]. Seven of the ten Hispaniola and Puerto Rico lampyrid genera are thus Greater Antillean endemics. All three non-endemic genera, Pyractomena, Lychnacris and Heterophotinus, are encountered on both islands and two of them, Pyractomena and Lychnacris, are not reported from Jamaica. Two genera are endemic to Hispaniola (Erythrolychnia and Callopisma) and one to Puerto Rico (Rufolychnia). Whereas Hispaniola and Puerto Rico have five genera in common (Cheguevaria, Pyractomena, Lychnacris, Robopus and Heterophotinus), and Jamaica and Hispaniola have three (Heterophotinus, Presbyolampis and Microdiphot), Heterophotinus is the only genus registered both on Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The most noticeable negative feature of the firefly fauna of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico is the absence of Photinus and Photuris, present in Jamaica [the former quite abundant with its 29 species -- McDermott & Buck, 1959] and widespread in both Americas. The dist ribution data on t he Ca ribbean l ampyr ids provide strong suppor t in favour of the cont inen tal origin of the Greater Antilles. The endemic tribe Cheguevar iini and the photin ine gener a Ery throl ychnia, Callopi sma, Rufoly chnia an d Robopus that are absent from Jam aica and h ave n o close r elati ves a nywhere el se, includi ng both Americas, a re a pparently true rel ict groups whose ancestor s, hypothetica lly, in Mesoam erica , disappea red and whose Hispa niola n an d Puerto Rican descen dants are all t hat remai ns of their ki nd.

P. vegaensis sp.n. is named after the province La Vega in th e D omin ican R epublic, w here most specimens of th e type series were collected. BIOLO GY. All specimens of P. vegaensis sp.n. were collected sh ortly after su nset on or flying above grassy vegetation at banks of moun tain rivers and brooks. Light is greenish wh ite, em itted in short flashes. DIAGNOSIS. P. vegaensis sp.n. is readily distinguished from P. immigrans Buck, 1947, the second, Jamaican, species of the genus, by the coloration, larger luminous organs and the structure of the aedeagus (Figs 87-88). As noted by McDermott and Buck [1959] and McDermott [1964], Presbyolampis is close to Bicellonycha Motschulsky 1853, distributed from the Southwestern USA to Northern South America, differing by the somewhat different type of the aedeagus. Th is is the first record of Presb yola mpis outside Jam aica.

The differences between Jamaica and the other Greater Antillean islands in firefly distribution also support hypotheses suggesting that Jamaica had a different history, having emerged considerably later or having suffered literal life obliteration. The origin of the firefly fauna of Jamaica is best explained by the over water dispersals from Central America (of Photinus and Photuris) and the adjacent Greater Antillean islands (of Microdiphot and Presbyolampis), with a possible introduction of Heterophotinus from both directions. Apart from the presence of the widespread nearctic and neotropical genera Photinus and Photuris that are absent on Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, the fact that may be explained by Jamaica's proximity to the nearest continental land and its being the first to get life transmitted by the occasional hurricanes therefrom [Darlington, 1938], this island is characterized by the absence of most of the firefly taxa endemic to the Greater Antilles. The only endemic Jamaican genus, Jamphotus, is apparently very close to Heterophotinus and, as the occurrence of apterous females is not uncommon in many other lampyrid genera [e.g., Cicero, 1988], is probably synonymous with it.
