1866 Wilkes' Spirit of Times (N.Y.) 14 July 315/3 There is another bait for bass called kill-devil—a sort of indescribable Barnum-what-is-it thing... An old friend of mine denominated them hell gramites.

1884 Standard Nat. Hist. II. 156 They are much sought after as fish-bait, having a very tough integument, so that one larva suffices to catch several fish; and they are called by fishermen ‘crawlers’, ‘dobsons’, and sometimes, we hope rarely, ‘hellgrammites’.

1895 Science 8 Nov. 635/2 Mr. L. O. Howard spoke briefly of a new enemy of the Hellgrammite fly.

1921 H. T. Fernald Appl. Entomol. xxvii. 221 This [sc. the largest member of the order Neuroptera] is commonly called the Corydalis or Hellgrammite (Corydalus cornuta L.) which is quite common throughout the country.

1935 O. Nash Primrose Path (1936) 122 This human hellgramite that I think we could all dispense with.

1957 Times 11 Oct. 12/6 A helgramite net—a flat wire tray that will catch any insects swept down by the current.

2001 G. C. McGavin Essent. Entomol. 175 It is just conceivable that their larvae, known as hellgrammites or toe-biters might occasionally earn their vernacular name.
