The first zoeal stage of Palaemon ortmanni (Rathbun, 1902) is re-described and illustrated in detail from laboratory-hatched material. The first zoeas of Palaemon are more closely related to those of Palaemonetes than to Macrobrachium, Leptocarpus, Leander, Leanderites, and Brachycarpus by having the endopod of maxillule with terminal seta and the endopod of maxilla with 2+1 setae. A provisional key to the zoeas between three genera Palaemon, Macrobrachium, and Periclimenes known from Korean waters is included.

The first zoeas of Chinese ditch prawn Palaemon gravieri (Yu, 1930) and carpenter shrimp Palaemon serrifer (Stimpson, 1860) are described and illustrated in detail based on laboratory-hatched material. They are distinguished from those of Palaemon ortmanni (Rathbun, 1902) and Palaemon pacificus (Stimpson, 1860), previously known larvae from Korean waters by the length of the rostrum and endopod of antenna, the shape of the third abdominal somite, and ornamentation of the fifth abdominal somite. Larval characters of the genus Palaemon are revised. A. provisional key to the known first zoeas of Palaemon from Korean waters is given.
