Larvae, pupae and adults of Araucoderus gloriosus (Alexander) were collected during fieldwork in Chilean Patagonia, December 2013 and January 2014. Eggs were obtained from females that oviposited in captivity. Association of all life stages is based on co-occurrence and rearing of individual larvae to adults. A diagnosis for the genus and species is provided. Descriptions of the egg, larva and pupa and redescriptions of the male and female are completed. Eggs of A. gloriosus are the first described for Tanyderidae. Natural history characteristics for this species, including microhabitat, copulatory behavior and oviposition, are discussed.
2013年12月和2014年1月在智利巴塔哥尼亚进行野外考察期间，采集到了华丽阿劳夜蛾（Alexander）的幼虫、蛹和成虫。卵是从圈养条件下产卵的雌蛾获得的。所有虫态的关联基于个体幼虫到成虫的同时出现和饲养。提供了该属和种的诊断。完成了卵、幼虫和蛹的描述以及雄虫和雌虫的重新描述。华丽阿劳夜蛾的卵是大蚊蛉科首次被描述的。讨论了该物种的自然历史特征，包括微生境、交配行为和产卵情况。
