Larval development of two Atergatis species (Decapoda, Xanthidae) described from laboratory-reared material

摘要

The four zoeal stages and one megalopal stage of Atergatis subdentatus (De Haan, 1835) and Atergatis reticulatus (De Haan, 1835) are described and illustrated, based on laboratory-reared material. The morphological characters of the larvae of these two species are compared with those of six other zosiminid genera (Atergatopsis, Lophozozymus, Platypodia, Platypodiella, Zosimus & Zozytnodes) to identify generic diagnostic larval characters.
