Abstract

The larval development of the hermit crab Areopaguristes nigroapiculus (Komai, 2009) (Decapoda: Anomura: Diogenidae) is described and illustrated from the material reared in the laboratory. The development included three zoeal and a single megalopal stages. At 22–25°C, megalop of A. nigroapiculus was attained 6–9 days after hatching. The present paper is the first description of the complete larval development in the genus Areopaguristes. Morphological characters of zoeas and megalop of A. nigroapiculus are compared with those described for the closely related Paguristes species. The comparison on the zoeal characters revealed that A. nigroapiculus is distinguished from Paguristes species by the absence of anterolateral carapace spines and by the fused fourth telson process in zoea III. These two features are possible generic characters of Areopaguristes. In the rest of larval characters, A. nigroapiculus agree well with Paguristes species having three zoeal stages. In the plankton of Peter the Great Bay, the larvae of A. nigroapiculus sporadically occurred only in July and August, at depths of 3–45 m and surface water temperatures of 18–22°C.
