Seventeen species (17) of firefly genus Curtos Motschulsky have been recorded from South East Asia whereas there were no previous records from Sri Lanka. A first record of the genus Curtos Motschulsky in Sri Lanka and a re-description of males and females of C. costipennis Gorham are presented including light patterns and areas of incidence in Sri Lanka with indications of habitat types.
