Abstract
The six naupliar instars of the two alpine species Acanthodiaptomus de nticornis and Arctodiaptomus alpinus are described and illustrated. Th eir external morphology is compared with that of all presently known d iaptomid nauplii in an attempt to provide useful taxonomic characteris tics to identify larval diaptomids. The larval stages of the two speci es are remarkably similar in size and overall appearance, and show an identical pattern of limb setation throughout the whole development. D iagnostic characters are mainly related to the differentiation of ante nnules and caudal armature.
