==Description==
==Description==
The basic coloration is dark brown. The eyes are large and the pronotum is yellowish or pale brown, with a blackish area in the middle and small backward-pointing teeth. These beetles are bioluminescent by means of two luminescent light organs at the posterior corners of the prothorax, emitting green light, and a large abdominal area on the first segment, emitting yellow light. They do not flash, they emit light continuously. Eggs and pupae are bioluminescent too.
