All larval instars of Coelophora inaequalis (F.), Phrynocaria gratiosa (Mulsant) and P. astrolabiana (Weise) are described, their significant morphological characters illustrated and hosts noted. The larval morphology of these species is compared with those of P. congener (Billberg) and Lemnia spp., and the relationships between these 3 genera are discussed.
