Material examined

JAPAN – Okinawa, Sesoko I. , laboratory pier, 26°38ʹ09.4ʺ N, 127°51ʹ55.2ʺ E • 4 LSN; 1991–2005 ( Tables 1 and S1 View Table 1 ). GoogleMaps

Description

LAST-STAGE NAUPLIUS (LSN). Lecithotrophic. Body narrowly ovate in dorso-ventral view; about 1.7 times as long as wide; lateral margins tapering gradually towards caudal end with slight discontinuity at posterior end of cephalic shield. No lateral view available, but longitudinal axes of cephalon, trunk and dorso-caudal spine apparently nearly in same plane. Length 320–350 µm (ventral view of mounted exuviae, without dorso-caudal spine), greatest width ca 190 µm, greatest dorso-ventral thickness unknown but body apparently rather flattened. Labrum produced as trapezoidal elevation divided into facets by cuticular ridges; pores not examined in detail. Trunk with rows of 5 µm long spines along margins. Caudal end attenuate, terminating in ca 50 µm long dorso-caudal spine accompanied ventrally and farther forwards by pair of triangular, pointed furcal spines ca 5 µm long. Dorso-caudal spine broad-based but sharply pointed, with irregularly ridged proximal portion bearing a few spinules.

CYPRID VIEWED THROUGH CUTICLE OF LSN. No live specimens studied.
