The 7 zoeal and 1 megalopal stages of Cha~bdi8 bimaculata (Miers, 1886) are descrihed and iflustrated in detail from larvae reared in lahoratory. Under isboratory conditions of 22$^{\circ}C$ temperature and 33.3~ salinity, the magalopa was attained in 32 days or more after hatching. The larval morphology of the first zoea of C. bimaculata are coincide with those of Charybdis species by hearing lateral spines on carapace, ~type antenna, A-type telson, 1,6 setae on the endoped of maxillule, and 6 setae on the endopod of maxilla. Morphological features of C. bimaculata larvae were compared to the previous descriptions of larvae of the other spedes helonging to the same genus.

The complete larval development of Scopimera bitympana Shen was descdbed and mustrated from the larvae reared in the lahoratory. S bItympana had five, or occasionally six, zoeal and one megalopal stages. At $25^{\circ}C$, the megalopa and the first crab instar were attained in 24 and 38 days (31 and 48 days in six zoeal series) after hatching respectively. S.bitympana zoeae can be distinguished from other described zoeae in the genus by the toothed carapace spines and the telson with a dorsal and two ventral spines. Megalopa of this species can be distinguished from other ScopimeTa spedes by the feature of carapace. Other minor morphological features of S. bitympana larvae are compared to the previous descripdons of larvae of the genus and the morphological differences are briefly discussed.

Gaillardiellus orientalis (Odhner, 1925) has been reared in the laboratory, form hatching to the first young crab stage at $25^{\circ}C$. The four zoeal stages and one megalopal stage are described and illustrated in detail. Within the subfamily Actaeinae, the zoea of G. orientalis differs from the other known zoeae in the characteristics of the antenna and the telson.

틸보꼬마풀게 (Hemigrapsus sinensis Rathbun) (바위 게 과, 참게 아과)의 유생을 부추에서부터 첫번째 게퇘까지 수온 20.2$^{\circ}C$에서 24.1$^{\circ}C$, 염분농도 32,9도에서 33.2%o에서 사육하고, 각 유생기의 형태적인 특징을 기술 및 도시하여, 같은 속내에 보고된 다른 7종의 유생들과 kk교하였다. 이 종은 5기의 Zoea와 1기의 Megalopa 유생을 거쳐 첫번째 게탰로 변태하였다. 제 1 Zoea기의 제 1촉각과 미절이 Aikawa의 기준에 의한 공형이며 갑측극은 있고 제 2소악내지의 강량식이 2.2인 점에서는 같은 속의 다른 7종과 일치하나, 제 1악각의 기절 및 내파와 제 2악각의 내지의 강모식에 약간의 차리가있다.

Novactaea pulchella was reared in the laboratory, from hatching to the megalopal stage at $25^{\circ}C$. The larval stage of it consists of two zoeal and one megalopal stages. The first zoea of the present study differs from that described by Terada (1990) in the setal presence of the carapace, the maxilla and the maxilliped, and the lateral process on the abdominal somite. It is reported for the first time that brachyuran zoeas belonging to a species share two types of lateral processes on the abdominal somites. They are either on the abdominal somites 2 and 3 or on abdominal somites 2 to 5. A provisional key is provided to aid the identification of the actaeine zoeas in Korea and the adjacent waters.

Ovigerous crabs of Erimacrus isenbeckii were collected from the northeastern coast of South Korea and their larvae were reared in the laboratory. Two zoeal stages were described and illustrated in detail. The first zoeal characteristics between the present material and Sasaki and Mihara's (1993: J Crust Biol. 13:511 522) were different especially in the setations of the endopods of the maxillipeds. The zoea of Erimacrus isenbeckii strongly resembled those of two Telmessus species in the Cheiragonidae, but the former could be distinguished from the latter by having spinulate carapace spines, a lateral process on the abdominal somite 3, and longer lateral spines on the telson fork.

The larvae of Scyra acutifrons are described and illustrated for the first time. The larval stage consists of two zoeal and a megalopal stages. The zoea of S. acutifrons is compared with those of other known species of the Epialtidae from the northern Pacific. The zoea of Scyra acutifrons can be easily distinguished from that of S. compressipes by having a longer rostral carapace spine and an endopod of maxillule with three setae. It is found that the genus Scyra (Pisinae) shows a great similarity to Pisoides bidentatus (Pisinae) and the genus Pugettia (Epialtinae) in the family Epialtidae; especially, S. acutidens coincides well with two Pugettia species (Pugettia incisa and P. gracilis) in the characteristics of the zoeal mouthpart appendages. To facilitate the study of plankton-collected material, a provisional key to the known zoeae of the Epialtidae from the northern Pacific is provided.

The first zoeal stage of Pagurus japonicus is described and illustrated. Its morphological characteristics are compared with of other species of the genus Pagurus. The first zoea of P. japonicus was very similar to that of P. similis. The zoeas of the two species could be distinguished from other pagurid zoeas by morphological characteristics of the carapace without posterolateral spine. two setae on the endopod of the antenna, and 3＋3 setae on the endopod of the maxilla. They show affinities more to the species of the family Diogenidae than to the species of the genus Pagurus in respect of zoeal morphology.

Ovigerous crab of Echinoecus nipponicus of subfamily Eumedoninae in Pilumnidae was collected from Seogwipo, Jejudo and hatched in the laboratory. The first zoeal stage of E. nipponicus is reported for the first time in the world and its digital image of live zoeas is provided. The first zoea of E. nipponicus has yellowish red chromatophores which occurring behind eyes, on dorsal spine and on anterior margin of telson, reddish brown chromatophores on abdominal somites 2-5 ventrally, dorsal, rostral, and lateral spines shorter than carapace length, three aesthetascs and two setae on the antennule, two medial setae on the antennal exopod, lateral processes on the abdominal somites 2, 3, and two lateral spine and one dorsomedial spine on the telson.
