Luciola antennalis Bourgeois 1905: 128 View in CoL . Wijekoon et al. 2012: 138; 2016: 67.

Type. Female. SRI LANKA (as Ceylon). Not located .

Remarks. Bourgeois (1905) described as L. antennalis a single female from Sri Lanka as dorsally yellow with antennal segments 4−7 depressed. We know of three other Luciolinae species described as having serrate or flattened antennae (see discussion following description of Serratia sibuyania gen. et sp. nov.) Luciola intricata (Walker) has FS 2–8 serrate and is also treated here as species incertae. Serratia sibuyania gen. et sp. nov. has four FS laterally expanded. The single female of Luciola exstincta Olivier (1886) has FS 4−8 expanded but is a different colour to Serratia sibuyania gen. et sp. nov.

Wijekoon et al. (2012) recorded the species from various locations in Sri Lanka but their method involved a catch and release and it is not possible to confirm their identifications. Wijekoon (pers. com.) indicated his identifications were tentative only.
