Have a look at LESLEY A. BALLANTYNE & CHRISTINE L. LAMBKIN

Systematics and Phylogenetics of Indo-Pacific Luciolinae Fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) and the Description of new Genera. That has keys to genera based on males. I have uploaded a full text of this, but it may not remain there for long.
