Rhagophthalmus fugongensis Li & Liang, 2008 

　　Remarks: Rhagophthalmus fugongensis Li & Liang was first found in a sandy maize field on a slope abutting the Salween River. Females produce green light continuously. When the female produces light, she raises her abdomen to expose the photogenic organ. Males and females are active between 20: 30 and 22: 00 hours and copulation occurs between 21: 00 and 21: 30 hours. The subsequent collections of this species show that it is commonly distributed in regions near the Salween River. Males were collected in the field by chance during copulation (eg. on 13 May 2004) or were trapped using a red light, a means that was suggested and verified by N.O. as an effective way of attracting male Rhagophthalmus. After comparison of the genitalia of males collected on 13 May 2004 and those collected on other occasions, specimens from the region near the Salween River were confirmed to the same species (i.e. R. fugongensis). 

　　Distribution: China (north-west of Yunnan: Fugong, Baoshan, Tengchong).
