Guanin: a white amorphous compound which occurs in the transparent areas of some wings, giving a milky tinge, and is also found in the photogenic organs of Lampyridae: an excretory substance, composition C5H5N5O (von Furth).    From Wordnik.com.  [Explanation of Terms Used in Entomology] Reference

All the fireflies, which I caught here, belonged to the Lampyridae (in which family the English glowworm is included), and the greater number of specimens were of Lampyris occidentalis. 14 I found that this insect emitted the most brilliant flashes when irritated: in the intervals, the abdominal rings were obscured.    From Wordnik.com.  [Journal of researches into the geology and natural history of the various countries visited by H.M.S.

It has been already stated that the Telephoridae, Lampyridae, and other families of soft-winged beetles, are distasteful; and as they abound in all parts of the world, and especially in the tropics, it is not surprising that insects of many other groups should imitate them.    From Wordnik.com.  [Darwinism (1889)] Reference

I believe that if all extinct insect-forms could be collected, we should have gradations from the Elateridae, with their highly and constantly luminous thoraxes, and from the Lampyridae, with their highly luminous abdomens, to some ancient insects occasionally luminous like the centipede.    From Wordnik.com.  [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1] Reference
