P. concisus has previously been confused with Photinus pyralis (Linnaeus). Male flash pattern emitted about every two seconds (versus about every six seconds in pyralis). Female response-delay about 0.6 seconds in, duration (versus about 2.2 seconds in pyralis). Antepenultimate tergite entirely black (versus with

Lloyd, J.E. 1966. Studies on the flash communication system in Photinus fireﬂies. Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan 130: 1-95.

Abstract (part):

The purpose of this study is to establish a foundation of general knowledge on firefly mating behavior; such general information should pinpoint species best suited for studies on the role of flash signals in reproductive isolation. The approach is a comparative study of mating behavior in several closely related species. The genus Photinus was selected because of: (1) a relatively large number of species in eastern North America, (2) terrestrial rather than arboreal habits, and (3) apparent simplicity of function of the flashing in adults.
