The larva of Birka annulitarsis (Thomson, 1870) is described and illustrated for the first time, and the larva of Birka cinereipes (Klug, 1816) is redescribed. Data on the larval biology are summarized and evaluated. Pulmonaria angustifolia (Boraginaceae) is the first specified larval host plant of Birka annulitarsis.
