Complete Larval Development of Two Species of the Asian Crab Genus Pseudosesarma (brachyura: Thoracotremata: Sesarmidae)
The complete larval development of the sesarmid crabs Pseudosesarma bocourti (A. Milne-Edwards, 1869) and P. moeschii (de Man, 1892) was obtained through laboratory culture. The previously unknown larval stages of both species, consisting of four zoeal stages and a megalopa, are morphologically almost identical and thus described and illustrated as one.The morphology of the zoeae and megalopae ...
متن کاملComplete larval and early juvenile development of the mangrove crab Perisesarma fasciatum (Crustacea: Brachyura: Sesarmidae) from Singapore, with a larval comparison of Parasesarma and Perisesarma
The complete larval development of the sesarmid crab Perisesarma fasciatum (Lanchester, 1900) from Singapore was obtained from laboratory culture. All four zoeal stages, the megalopa and the first crab stage are described and illustrated. The morphological characteristics of the larvae of P. fasciatum are compared with those of other known larvae of the genera Perisesarma and Parasesarma. The l...
متن کاملFirst Zoeal Stages of Geograpsus Lividus and Goniopsis Pulchra from Panama Confirm Consistent Larval Characters for the Subfamily Grapsinae (crustacea: Brachyura: Grapsidae)
The first zoeal stages of Geograpsus lividus (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) and Goniopsis pulchra (Lockington, 1876), both obtained from laboratory hatched material in Panama, are described and illustrated. Geograpsus was one of the few genera of Grapsinae for which larval data were unavailable. Zoeal features are compared with those of other genera included in Grapsinae, and several shared morpholog...

Crabs of the genus Plagusia Latreille, 1804 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Plagusiidae) are well known for their habit of clinging to driftwood or ship hulls and are therefore prone to trans-oceanic transport. One of the consequences of this large dispersal potential seems to be the circumtropical distribution of one species, Plagusia depressa (Fabricius, 1775). This species comprises two subspecies, t...
متن کاملMorphology of the first zoeal stages of five species of the portunid genus Callinectes (Decapoda, Brachyura) hatched at the laboratory.
The genus Callinectes Stimpson, 1860 currently consists of 16 species, six of which are reported in Brazilian coast. In the present study, the first zoeal stages of Callinectes bocourti, C. danae, C. exasperatus, C. ornatus and C. sapidus from Brazil were obtained from ovigerous females. The morphological and meristic characters of all these larval stages are described and illustrated. Those of...
