THE LARVAL STAGES OF PLEURONCODES PLANIPES STIMPSON (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, GALATHEIDAE)

CARL M. BOYD 1

1 Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, La Jolla, California

The larval stages of a galatheid decapod crustacean, Pleuroncodes planipes, have been identified, described and figured. There are five stages. First stage larvae were hatched from eggs carried by adults; no larvae molted under laboratory conditions. Larval morphology indicates that the genus Pleuroncodes is more closely allied to the genus Munida than to Galathea. The larvae occur in high densities (42,000/1000 m.3) in the region of Magdalena Bay, Baja California, Mexico.
