Abscondita terminalis

邊褐端黑螢 Black-tipped Flash-train

形态特征 (Characteristics):雄萤体长10-12毫米，复眼巨大，鞘翅端部黑色，有点像米埔屈翅萤，但米埔屈翅萤鞘翅向下向内屈，而且显著比边褐端黑萤细小；发光器几乎完全占据第六和第七腹板。雌萤外貌类似雄萤，但复眼较小，只有一个发光器，位于第六腹板。幼虫背板后缘有四枚刺突，前胸背板前方两侧有一对黄褐色斑。

Male fireflies are 10-12 mm in length, with large compound eyes. Their elytra (wing covers) have black tips, somewhat resembling those of the Mai Po Firefly (Pyrocoelia atripennis), but differ in that the Mai Po Firefly’s elytra curve downward and inward, and are noticeably smaller than those of the Rimmed Black-tip Firefly. The luminous organ of the male nearly covers the entire sixth and the front part of the seventh abdominal segments. The female firefly looks similar to the male, but has smaller compound eyes and only one luminous organ, which is located on the sixth abdominal segment. Larvae have four spines on the rear edge of their dorsal plates, and a pair of yellowish-brown spots on the front sides of the prothorax.
