Description

Photinus xanthophotis xanthophotis (Gosse)

Pygolampis xanthophotis xanthophotis Gosse 1848: 268 [original combination]

Photinus opulentus E. Olivier 1907: 36 syn. [E. Olivier 1912b: 30]

Photinus xanthophotis xanthophotis Gosse [new combination by Leng & Mutchler 1922: 464]

DISTRIBUTION: JAMAICA: Portland, St. Andrew, St. James; St. Thomas, Westmoreland (Gosse 1848, 1851; E. Olivier 1907, 1910, 1912b; Leng & Mutchler 1914, 1922; Gowdey 1926; Barber 1941; Buck 1942; Blackwelder 1945; McDermott & Buck 1952b, 1959; Seliger et al. 1964a, 1964b; McDermott 1966; Blackwelder & Arnett 1974)

TYPE LOCALITY: Jamaica

TYPE DEPOSITORY: NHM

REMARKS: Misspelled as Photinus xanthophotus [sic] in Seliger et al. (1964b). Seliger et al. (1964ab) cite P. xanthophotis for St. Andrew. No subspecies is given therefore I assigned the locality to the nominate subspecies.
