Photinus signaticollis is a species of firefly native to Argentina and Uruguay.[1] In 2018 the species was observed in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, and initially described as a new species, Photinus immigrans.[2][3] However, in 2022 it was found that the population in the Iberian Peninsula corresponded to the species Photinus signaticollis.[1]
