✦ Synopsis

Firefly luciferin, a bioluminescent substrate, was first isolated from Photinus pyralis by Bitler and McElroy (1) and characterized as I by White et al. (2).

Although the various species of American and Jamaican fireflies differ in the color of emitted light, ranging from green to yellow (hmax 552-582 mp), turis,
