Abstract
We describe from surface waters near Tonga a subfinal or final stage p hyllosoma larva with a circular cepahalon which we refer to Puerulus a ngulatus (Bate, 1888). It is the largest and most advanced larva of Pu erulus yet described, and is only the second larva from the South Paci fic Ocean for this genus.
