We investigate the relationship between black hole mass and bulge luminosityfor AGNs with reverberation-based black hole mass measurements and bulgeluminosities from two-dimensional decompositions of Hubble Space Telescope hostgalaxy images. We find that the slope of the relationship for AGNs is 0.76-0.85with an uncertainty of ~0.1, somewhat shallower than the M_BH \proptoL^{1.0+/-0.1} relationship that has been fit to nearby quiescent galaxies withdynamical black hole mass measurements. This is somewhat perplexing, as the AGNblack hole masses include an overall scaling factor that brings the AGNM_BH-sigma relationship into agreement with that of quiescent galaxies. Wediscuss biases that may be inherent to the AGN and quiescent galaxy samples andcould cause the apparent inconsistency in the forms of their M_BH-L_bulgerelationships.
