Abstract

Eight zoeal stages and one decapodid of the hippolytid shrimp Latreutes acicularis Ortmann, 1890 are described from laboratory-reared material hatched from egg from ovigerous females collected from Shimoda, Japan. The presence of a minute dorsomedian protuberance on the third abdominal somite, the spinules on the dorsal margin of the fourth and fifth abdominal somites, and a pair of dorsolateral spines on the fourth and fifth abdominal somites readily distinguish the larvae of L. acicularis from those of L. anoplonyx Kemp, 1914 and L. laminirostris Ortmann, 1890, the other two known larvae of Latreutes from East Asia.
