Abstract	The presence of two spectral mechanisms, near-ultraviolet and green (lambda(max)=545nm), is strongly suggested by electroretinographic visual spectral sensitivity curves obtained under dark and red chromatic adaptation conditions in the compound eyes of the click beetle Pyrophorus punctatissimus. The bioluminescence emission of the dorsal prothoracic lanterns is deep green (lambda(max)=543nm) and that of the ventral abdominal lantern is lime green (lambda(max)=556nm) in colour in P. punctatissimus. A broad green visual receptor would detect both deep green and lime green bioluminescent optical signals.
