Zusammenfassung:	Two larval Chauliodes (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) were found in a population of the purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea L.) in Big Run Bog, Tucker County, West Virginia. The dobsonfly larvae, both nearly mature, were recovered in a sample of 107 leaves from plants collected in May, 1995. The alimentary canal of one dobsonfly larva contained chironomid larvae (Diptera: Chironomidae). This is the first report of dobsonflies in S. purpurea.
