| Abstract: | The larval (two zoeae and megalopa) and first crab stages ofthe majid crab Inachus thoracicus Roux, 1830 are described andillustrated from laboratory-hatched material obtained from anovigerous female collected on the western Mediterranean continentalshelf. The morphology of all the stages is compared with thatof the corresponding stages of other known species of the genusInachus. The larvae of I. dorsettensis, I. phalangium and I.thoracicus are morphologically similar, and differ in some characteristicsfrom I. leptochirus. |
