Lamprigera taimoshana, the Tai Mo Shan elephant firefly, endemic to Hong Kong, is part of the poorly resolved Lamprigera genus of fireflies or glow-worms. [1]
Living in montane forest and grassland above 600m, [2] it has only been recorded on some of the highest peaks of Hong Kong such as Tai Mo Shan and Sunset Peak. [3]
