The first zoea of Liomera bella belonging to the subfamily Liomerinae is described and illustrated for the first time. Its morphological characteristics are compared with those of other known species of the Xanthidae The general morphology of it corresponds well with zoeas of the Xanthidae. Based on the zoeal morphology, the zoea of L. bella shows a greatest affinity with those of Xontho incisus and Pseudomedaeus agassizii by having the exopod of antenna with two setae, the terminal segment of the endopod of the second maxilliped with six setae, and the fork of telson with one stout and one smaller lateral spines.
