Ototretinae
The Ototetrinae are a small and somewhat disputed subfamily in the firefly family (Lampyridae). They are close to the Luciolinae in some respects, but do not glow or flash like the more advanced fireflies. Rather, they attract their partners with pheromones like many relatives of the firefly family. They are found in Eurasia and North America.
