Abstract
Five zoeal stages and the first juvenile stage of the crangonid shrimp Phil ocheras monacanthus are described and illustrated from laboratory-reared sp ecimens. Development to the first juvenile stage took 15 days at 18 degrees C and 36 parts per thousand salinity. Larval morphology is compared with t hat of other described species of Philocheras, and a provisional key is pro vided.
