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

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.
