SUMMARY. Keys are provided to identify those British limnephilid larvae which are characterized by having gill sites occupied solely by single filaments at the final instar. Most species can be identified at the final instar but many species can also be identified at the earlier instars. A key is also supplied to distinguish the early instar larvae as a group from other limnephilid larvae. Brief notes on distribution and habitat are given. The species identified at least at the final instar are:- Apatania wallengreni, A. auricula, A. muliebris, Drusus annulatus, Ecclisopteryx guttulata, Potamophylax latipennis, P. cingulatus, P. rotundipennis, Melampophylax mucoreus, Allogamus auricollis, Hydatophylax infumatus, Chaetopteryx villosa. It was not possible to segregate Halesus radiatus from H. digitatus, Stenophylax permistus from S. vibex, or S. lateralis from S. sequax.
