Treatment

O. crispaticollis Fairmaire, 1898 View in CoL

Ovalampis crispaticollis Fairmaire, 1898: 404–405 View in CoL . Loc. typ. “Tamatave”

DISTRIBUTION. Madagascar.

NOTE. Taxon overlooked in Fanti & Parisi’s catalogue (2024). Therefore, the Sub-Saharan fireflies consist of nine genera and subgenera and 187 species (198 taxa). Near Photinus in the original description ( Fairmaire, 1898), but the description suggests Lychnuris according to McDermott (1964: 8, 19); then later McDermott (1966: 18) hypothesized it as? Pyrocoelia . The genus belongs to Lampyrini ( McDermott 1964: 8, 19, 1966: 18; Martin et al. 2019b: 11) but is incertae sedis for Olivier (1907a: 62, 65, 69; 1910: 53, 56, 59).
