Abstract

The zoeal development of the porcellanid crab Novorostrum indicum is described and illustrated from laboratory-reared material. Zoeal characters of this species appear to support the establishment of Novorostrum. Furthermore, a closer affinity of this genus with Petrolisthes ornatus, P. japonicus, and P. elongatus than with other species of Petrolisthes for which the larval morphology is known, and also the exclusion of P. ornatus from Novorostrum, are supported.
