Comparative larval descriptions and an updated generic diagnosis are provided for the two rare Nearctic species of the leuctrid genus Calileuctra Shepard & Baumann. The larva of the generotype C. ephemera Shepard & Baumann, was previously described, in part, from a single larva that was illustrated and subsequently lost, and the larval exuvium of a single reared male paratype. Larvae of C. dobryi Shepard & Baumann, were previously described in part from three individuals. Comparative descriptions utilize additional associated larvae, and SEM and light microscope study, providing additional characters. Akey to the larval species is provided and differences in the molar structure of the right mandible of Leuctridae and Capniidae are discussed.
