Abstract
Keys are provided for the larvae of 32 species of TINEIDAE, and detailed descriptions are given of 31 species. These include most of the species known to be of any economic importance. What is known of the biology of each is briefly summarised, but no attempt has been made to collate the available information on control measures.No larvae have been available of four species of some economic importance nor of twelve others of doubtful status as pests. The literature on each of these species is noted.The larvae of a few species of no known economic importance are described and are included in the keys. Most of these are very closely related to species known to be pests.The keys and descriptions include 21 species which are indigenous to Britain or are established here, so that keys and descriptions are now provided for half of the British species ofTineidae.Keywords
