“…Currently Majoidea encompasses six families comprising Majidae Samoulle, 1819; Epialtidae Macleay, 1838; Inachidae Macleay, 1838; Inachoididae Dana, 1851;Oregoniidae Garth, 1958and Hymenosomatidae Macleay, 1838De Grave et al 2009;Ahyong et al 2011), the inclusion of the latter still being debatable. In terms of larvae, almost all majoids are characterized by two zoeal stages and a megalopa, with the exception of Hymenosomatidae.…”

“…Included among Majoidea are commercially very important species, such as Chionoecetes opilio (Fabricius, 1788) and Maja brachydactyla Balss, 1922. In 2011,000 tons of majoids were fished worldwide (FAO 2013).…”

“…Recent classifications divide Majoidea into six families De Grave et al 2009;Ahyong et al 2011). Epialtidae is the most speciose among these families and includes Menaethius monoceros (Latreille, 1825), a widely distributed species occurring throughout the Indo-Pacific, the Tasman and Red Sea (Griffin and Tranter 1986) and that has also been reported as an exotic species in the Mediterranean (Öztürk 2010).…”

The larval development of the spider crab Menaethius monoceros (Latreille, 1825) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtinae) is described and illustrated from laboratory-reared larvae. The development consisted of two zoeal stages and one megalopa, following the typical pattern in Majoidea. The duration of the first zoeal stage was 4-11 days, the second zoea appearing 5-12 days and the megalopa 10-18 days after hatching. Both zoeal stages of Menaethius monoceros have a distinct setation on the distal segment of the endopod of maxilliped II. In the megalopa only the setation of the exopod of the antennule is diagnostic among Epialtinae. Comparative analysis revealed that some of the previous descriptions are probably not those of Menaethius monoceros. Based on existing limited information no single morphological feature, or set of features, is apparent that characterizes epialtine larvae.

“…There are about 550 species of large branchiopods worldwide (Ahyong et al 2011). These animals, considered as the 'flagship' species of temporary water bodies, are one of the most conspicuous but least studied animal assemblages (Witham et al 1998;Brendonck et al 2008;Rogers 2009).…”

An updated inventory of large branchiopods of the Western Maharashtra state, India is presented for the first time. Employing current identification keys, we have detailed the egg morphology of Eulimnadia indocylindrova, which shares some similarities with E. geayi from South America and E. alluaudi from Madagascar, based on these egg characters. A thorough re-description of few morphological traits of the same species is also presented. We also have described the female of a Cyzicus species seen rarely from the studied region. Distributional comments on few species are also reported.

“…By the early twenty-first century the total number of known thalassinidean species (Kornienko 2013) had increased to approximately 646 (De Grave et al 2009;Ahyong et al 2011). Given the contentious status of some species and the difficulties of identifying the larvae of most taxa, detailed information on larval development is available for only around one quarter of known genera (Pohle et al 2011).…”

The larval development of Upogebia vasquezi consists of four zoeal stages and a megalopa. In the present study, each larval stage was described and illustrated in detail. The first two stages are re-described in order to provide a detailed comparison with the data available for this species recorded in a previous study. The morphological features of all the stages are compared with those of the larvae of other Upogebia species reported previously in the literature. Broad morphological similarities and distinctions were found among most Upogebia species. The main interspecific variations in the morphology of the zoeal stages are the segmentation pattern of the antennular endopod and number of aesthetascs, the number of setae on the scaphognathite and the presence or absence of a mandibular palp.
