The Pyrophorini are a New World taxonomic tribe within the Elateridae (click beetle) subfamily Agrypninae.

[1] Pyrophorini is a tribe of bioluminescent beetles, and includes such genera as Pyrophorus and Ignelater.

The tribe Anaissini is very closely related to the Pyrophorini (it includes species formerly placed in Pyrophorini); the latter is exclusively bioluminescent, while the former has only some species that are known to be bioluminescent.

[2] Another bioluminescent lineage is Campyloxenus pyrothorax (from Chile) in the related monotypic subfamily Campyloxeninae.

The Sinopyrophoridae were thought to represent the first bioluminescent elaterids known from Asia, but actually are a newly-recognized bioluminescent beetle family.
