Zoeal Stages of Lysmata vittata (Decapoda: Caridea: Hippolytidae) Reared in the Laboratory

摘要

Nine zoeal stages of Lysmata vittata (Stimpson 1860) are described from laboratory-reared material The ornamentation of the carapace and the fifth abdominal somite readily distinguish the first zoeas of L vittata from the two previously known first larvae of Lysmata (L anchisteus and L seticaudata) Larval characters of the genus Lysmata are summarized The setation of 1,2,3(6) on the basis of the second maxilliped indicates that Lysmata is closely related to Exhippolysmata.
