Luciola rubiginosa View in CoL : ‘Patria’ (? = New Hebrides, McDermott 1966). (MNHN).

Diagnosis. One of four similarly coloured species known from the Solomons, with dark brown elytra laterally margined with orange, distinguished as follows: Magnalata limbata : pronotum orange (retraction of fat body beneath cuticle in pinned specimens can leave slightly darker patches which are not a true darker colouration); elytra parallel-sided; MS black; 4 elytral interstitial lines as well developed as suture; pronotal punctures broad, deep, but not contiguous; V4 brown at sides, V5 brown; LO occupying all but a narrow posterior border in V7; MPP about as long as wide, apically rounded, lateral margins converging posteriorly; ML of aedeagus lacking lateral teeth. Pacifica limbatipennis and Pac. limbatifusca : pronotum orange (with median dark spots in limbatifusca ); MS red; elytral interstitial lines poorly defined; pronotal punctures broad, shallow, contiguous; V4 brown, V5 very dark brown; LO retracted to anterior portion of V7; MPP elongate, apically truncate (sometimes obliquely), lateral margins subparallel; ML of aedeagus with lateral teeth. Convexa wolfi : pronotum orange; elytra convex-sided; MS red; 4 elytral interstitial lines well–defined; pronotal punctures very small, shallow, separated by 1–2 times their width (surface of pronotum between punctures smooth and shiny); all ventrites yellow except for very narrow brown posterior margin of V5; MPP short apically rounded; ML of aedeagus lacking lateral teeth.

Remarks. One of the largest of the Luciolinae of the Solomons ranging from 9.2–14.3 mm long.
