Abstract
The first zoea of Eriphia sebana is described and illustrated in detail for the first time. Its morphological characteristics are compared with those of other known species of the Menippidae from the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The general morphology of it corresponds well with other known zoeas of the Menippidae, except that of Sphaerozius nitidus. It is found that the zoeas of E. sebana and E. smithi can be separated by the exopod of the antenna, which has three setae in E. sebana and four setae in E. smithi.
