In this work we describe morphology and chaetotaxy of the first and last instars of three species of two genera (Apocheima Hübner and Lycia Hübner) of brachypterous moths which occur in Poland. Moreover, we discuss morphology and chaetotaxy of the last instar larva of Phigalia pilosaria (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775). Head capsule and mouthparts are illustrated and described with the nomenclature of particular setae and pores. Chaetotaxy of thoracic legs and prolegs is provided. The shape and setal arrangement of anal plate are illustrated separately.
