 Comments
       
  Comment: Photinus simplex (LeConte, 1885) is a possible unresolved junior secondary homonym of Photinus simplex Gorham, 1881 due to the recent (Zaragoza et al., 2020) synonymy of the genus Ellychnia Blanchard, 1845 into Photinus Laporte, 1833. It is considered a valid species, so if there is no available name from synonymy then it will require a replacement name be published
