Heoclisis is a genus of cave-dwelling [1] antlions, that is, insects in the family Myrmeleontidae. [2]

Contents

The genus was first described by Longinos Navás in 1923. [2] [3]

Miller and Stange (2012) [1] describe them as not being true cave-dwelling antlions, because not all life stages are confined to caves.

Antlion Family of insects

The antlions are a group of about 2,000 species of insect in the neuropteran family Myrmeleontidae, known for the fiercely predatory habits of their larvae, which in many species dig pits to trap passing ants or other prey. The adult insects are less well known, due to their relatively short lifespans compared to the larvae. Adults mostly fly at dusk or after dark, and may be mistakenly identified as dragonflies or damselflies; they are sometimes known as antlion lacewings. In North America, the larvae are sometimes referred to as doodlebugs because of the strange marks they leave in the sand.
