From the time of Hagen’s pioneering synthesis of 1873, a number 
of different types of larval ascalaphids have been described (sum- 
marized in MacLeod, 1964 and MS in preparation). A careful 
reading of this literature, however, reveals few cases in which larvae 
have been associated with their adults either through rearing or by 
hatching from eggs laid by a captive female. Most often these 
associations have been made by a loose, deductive process of elimina- 
tion from a list of the species which are known as adults from the 
general area from which the larva was obtained. In view of the 
continuing poor state of our knowledge concerning the distribution 
of the species of the Ascalaphidae, this procedure is of no real value. 
Larval-adult associations which I believe to be reliable have only 
been achieved for the genera Ascalaphus , Helicomitus, Pseudoptynx , 
Suhpalacsa, and Ululodes , all of which belong to the subfamily 
Ascalaphinae. One might add to these the description by Froggatt 
(1902) of the rearing of a species now placed in the genus Acmo- 
notus y but his unillustrated account is too general to be of any 
present use. In addition to the genera just noted, I can add to the 
list of associated forms the larvae of the genus Ascaloptynx , repre- 
senting the subfamily Ascaloptynginae, which I have reared. For 
strictly nomenclatorial reasons, the larvae of the genera Neulatus
