Pyrophorus (also known as fire beetles) is a genus of click beetle (family Elateridae). They are one of several genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, all of which are bioluminescent. Their bioluminescence is similar to that of another group of beetles, the fireflies, although click beetles do not flash, but remain constantly glowing (though they can control the intensity; for example, they become brighter when touched by a potential predator). They have two luminescent spots at the posterior corners of the pronotum, and another brighter light organ on the most-anterior surface of the ventral abdomen. This light organ is even brighter and can only be seen when in flight. Bioluminescent click beetles are found throughout tropical, subtropical and temperate America. Species from Texas, Florida, Pu

  • Pyrophorus es un género de coleópteros polífagos de la familia Elateridae. Son bioluminiscentes (producen luz de tipo crioluminescente, ya que para producir luz casi no emiten calor extra) al igual que las luciérnagas, si bien no están emparentados con estas. (es)

  • Eldflugor kallas vissa skalbaggar med tydlig lysförmåga som flyger omkring på nätterna. De är vanligast i tropikerna men finns också i svalare klimat. De tillhör antingen familjen knäppare, Elateridae, eller familjen mjukbaggar, Cantharidae. Till de skalbaggar i familjen knäppare som sänder ut ljus hör släktet Pyrophorus. Släktets arter förekommer främst i Sydamerika och i Västindien. De flesta av dessa sänder ut ljus från en gulaktig fläck som är som en blåsa och ligger strax framför bakhörnen på halsskölden. Det är bara några få arter av alla knäppare som sänder ut ljus. (sv)
