Material examined
JAPAN – Okinawa, Sesoko I. , laboratory pier, 26°38ʹ09.4ʺ N, 127°51ʹ55.2ʺ E • 2 LSN; 1991–2005 GoogleMaps • 8 LSN, 6 of which molted to cyprids; 2018–2019 ( Tables 1 and S1 View Table 1 ).
Description
LAST-STAGE NAUPLIUS (LSN). Lecithotrophic. Body narrowly ovate in dorso-ventral view; about 1.6 times as long as wide; lateral margins with only modest discontinuity in body outline between cephalic shield and trunk. In lateral view, trunk axis bent downwards ca 10–20° with respect to cephalic axis. Length 210–240 µm (without dorso-caudal spine), greatest width ca 120 µm, greatest dorso-ventral thickness ca 80 µm. Labrum weakly elevated, hoe-shaped in ventral view, approximately 1.2 times as long as wide; surface divided into plates by cuticular ridges; pore pattern not examined in detail but at least three pores present in midline: one anteriorly, two posteriorly. Caudal end acuminate, terminating in ca 30 µm long dorso-caudal spine usually with two or three annuli, this being upturned ca 10–20° with respect to trunk axis and accompanied ventrally by pair of furcal double-spines ca 5 µm long (i.e., each furcal spine bifid from base).
CYPRID VIEWED THROUGH CUTICLE OF LSN. Body overall weakly brownish, but telson and anterior part of cephalon distinctly darker brown. Gut-like central tube and central part of cephalon packed with yolk granules/lipid vesicles and often with orange-colored vesicle in telson. Telson sub-triangular, about as long as wide, about half as long as thorax.
Identification and variation
Easily recognizable by its overall shape and size, furcal double-spines, relatively small dorso-caudal spine and the developing cyprid’s brown telson. Variation is evident in the size of the dorso-caudal spine.
Distribution
Japan (Sesoko Island, Okinawa).
