Abstract

An ovigerous hair crab, Telmessus acutidens, was collected in South Korean waters and its larvae were reared in the laboratory. The larval development consists of four zoeal (including an extra zoeal stage) and one megalopal stages. Four zoeal stages are described and illustrated in detail. The zoeas of the present material show some differences from Kurata (1963)'s plankton-collected zoea of T. acutidens in the characteristics of the carapace spines, an endopod and an exopod of the antenna, and the posterolateral process of the abdominal somite. Kurata's zoea agreed well with that of T. cheiragonus. So, it is suggested that Kurata's zoea may be the second zoea of T. cheiragonus.
