Photinus er en artsrik slekt av lysbiller.
Utseende Middelsstore, avlange, noe flate lysbiller. Hos hannene er hodet gjerne dekket av pronotum sett ovenfra. Antennene er trådformede.
Levevis Lysbillene er nattaktive insekter. De finnes i mange ulike naturtyper (habitat), som fuktige enger, langs skogsbryn, bekker, i hager og parker. I denne gruppen sender ikke alle artene ut lys som voksne.
Utbredelse Slekten er utbredt i den Nye verden, mest i den neotropiske økosonen, men forekommer også i det sørlige Afrika og i Middelhavsområdet..
