Hurray for pupal cells! How many larvae do you have? I'm guessing there have been a lot of deli cups involved

If I remember correctly, I have 31 larvae right now. Out of those, 9 of them were isolated into deli cups cause they were close to maturity

Lucanus - did you find these in an upright, rotten hardwood? This is how I find them usually, and will find one or two adults with a cache of larvae. I downed three, still-standing rotten trees a few weeks ago and collected one adult and 6 grubs. Good luck!

That's exactly how I found mine! Seems that Phileurini loves still standing trees. Even Asian ones are found in tree cavities and rotting still standing trees. lol

 
These are some pics I took 4 days ago. All of them are pupae now

Interestingly, my first batch all turned out to be females (I think), while all the second batch larvae turned into males

You should have some adults in no time! How long after they emerge do you think they'll start feeding?

Usually, smaller Phileurini species start feeding in less than a month after emergence, but these guys might take longer due to their large size.

 
That's what I was thinking. They don't move around much when they first emerge. After a week they are now a bit more active.
