Abstract

First zoea of cyclograpsinine crab Chasmagnathus convexus (De Haan, 1835) belonging to the family Varunidae, is described and illustrated in detail based on laboratory-hatched material from an ovigerous female collected in Seumjingang river mouth, southern Korea. Morphological comparison is made with previous description of C. convexus from Japan, The first zoea of C. convexus can be readily distinguished from those of six species of Cyclograpsus intermedius Ortmann, 1894, Helicana japonica (K. Sakai and Yatsuzuka, 1980), Helicana wuana (Rathbun, 1931), Helice tientsinensis Rathbun, 1931, Helice tridens (De Man, 1835), and Pseudohelice quadrata (Dana, 1851), the other known cyclograpsinine species in Korea by having the lateral carapace spine, a pair of dorsolateral processes on the fourth abdominal somite, the exopod of antenna with three setae, and the exopod of antenna as being 24.7% length to the protopod.
