Moved tentatively -- fits decription well
Moved from Pyractomena.

Not Photinus.
At least I don't think it is. This is a very awkward angle from which to make an identification, but I'm reasonably certain this is a specimen of Pyractomena.

 
Thanks
That's the one. I remember what it looked like because I have a not so sharp dorsal photo, before it scurried under the edge of my sheet.
