Developmental stages of larvae of eight species of Anisoptera from the Kiewa River and Middle Creek, Victoria, were determined and their phenology investigated. The last six to nine instars of each species were distinguished by size frequency and scatter plots, using labium width, metafemur and wing-pad measurements, and the early instars were estimated from Dyar's Law. This suggested between 11 to 14 instars. Four species appeared to be univoltine and four species semivoltine.
