Abstract
Photuris mysticalampas sp. nov., is described herein. This species can be distin- guished from other Photurids by the combination of its small size, oval body shape, the dense pubes- cent appearance of the elytra, and flash pattern. Adults emerge at night from Sphagnum spp. hum- mocks in acidic peatland floodplain forests and fly slowly among dense understory vegetation at <2m height. Typical flash pattern is a slow signal (0.4 - 0.8 sec) of moderate luminosity for a Photuris repeated at 3 - 7 sec intervals. The species is known only from three sites in two watersheds in Sussex County, Delaware.
