Larvae of Ilyoplax dentimerosa Shen, 1932 were reared in the laboratory at $25^{\circ}C$ and 33.3%o salinity. Four zoeal stages were recognized in the lanral development, and these are described and illustrated. The first soeae of 1. dentimerosa are distinguished from other llyoplax zoeae by having minute spicules on the rostral and dorsal carapace spines, a short dorsal carapace spine about half of the carapace length, a conspicuous antennal exopodite with a subterminal sutta and acute spines on the postero-lateral border of the fourth abdominal somite.
