Popis: Summary The complete larval development of Acantholithodes hispidus is described, based on rearing in the laboratory. The species has four zoeal stages plus one megalopa. Each stage is described and illustrated, and detailed comparisons are made with other lithodid crab larvae. A. hispidus zoea is markedly different from the previously described Lithodidae zoea in the shape of the carapace, rostral and posterolateral spines, abdomen and telson. A. hispidus zoea has morphological characters of the Brachyura and the Anomura.
