Abstract
The first zoeal stage of Macromedaeus orientalis (Takeda et Miyake, 1969) is described and illustrated. Its morphological characteristics are compared with those of other known species of the subfamily Xanthinae. The first zoeas of M. orientalis and M. distinguendus are similar, but they can be distinguished from each other by the characteristic of antenna. The former has a smooth antenna with a rounded tip, while the latter has a serrated antenna with a spinous tip.
