Abstract
The five copepodids of Lichomolgus forficula, a poecilostomatoid copep od (family Lichomolgidae), are described. Sexual dimorphism first occu rs in copepodid V in which the male maxilliped, unlike that of female, shows a row of spinules on its second segment. Changes of leg armatur es during copepodid development are discussed.
