Abstract

The first zoea of Microcassiope orientalis is described and illustrated from laboratory hatched materials. Comparisons with previous studies of the first zoeal stages in the Xanthidae from Korean waters, revealed that some former studies were incorrected. The first zoea of M. orientalis described by Ko was identical to the first zoea of Macromedaeus distinguendus described by Terada. In addition, zoeal stages of Nanocassiope granullipes described by Ko & Clark was revealed the zoeal stages of M. cassiopes. So, the first zoea of M. orientalis is redescribed and illustrated in detailed with color photo herein, and compare its morphological characteristics with previous described zoea of N. granulipes by Ko & Clark.
