Haploglenius flavicornis
Haploglenius flavicornis is an owlfly species in the family Ascalaphidae, first described by McLachlan in 1871. The species is distributed in Middle America. Taxonomic confusion exists in the literature, with the same scientific name having been applied to unrelated wasp species; the name Brachyelatus flavicornis used for Australian chalcid wasps represents a separate taxon and is not a valid synonym.

The species is characterized by divided eyes and clubbed antennae. Adults are known for a distinctive cryptic resting posture where the abdomen projects from the perch to resemble a twig.
Ululodes quadripunctatus
Four-spotted Owlfly
Ululodes quadripunctatus, commonly known as the four-spotted owlfly, is a species of owlfly in the family Ascalaphidae and tribe Ululodini. The species is distributed across Central America and North America.
