Abstract:
The pale-yellow firefly, Abscondita promelaena was originally described from Sri Lanka. Two male morphs (M1 & M2) of Abs. promelaena have been recorded from Uva Province, Sri Lanka in 2011. There were no previous records of morphs of Abs. promelaena in Southeast Asia. Present study aims to further investigate the taxonomic and ecological evidence of M1 and M2 of Abs. promelaena in four selected habitats in Uva Province. The selected habitats were grassland, freshwater associated land, paddy field and forest from Wellawaya, Welimada, Bandarawela and Ella locations respectively.
