The biology and larval chaetotaxy of six species or subspecies were studied in the genus Idaea Treitschke, 1825 through an analysis of the larvae or the larval exuviae of I. sericeata calvaria Wehrli, 1927, I. ochrata albida (Zerny, 1936), I. incisaria (Staudinger, 1892), I. bigladiata Herbulot, 1975, I. cervantaria (Millière, 1869) and I. degeneraria (Hübner, 1799), whilst larval biological data was provided on another six species: I. ochrata (Scopoli, 1763), I. macilentaria (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847), I. mancipiata (Staudinger, 1871), I. contiguaria (Hübner, 1799), I. aversata (Linné, 1758) and I. deversaria (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847).
