Popis:	The early ontogeny of Lophonectes gallus (Bothidae) is described based on 83 specimens (1.9–17.5 mm BL), collected from the Tasman Sea off southeastern Australia. The larvae are diagnosed by the following array of characters: vertebrae 10 + 30–31 = 40–41; one elongated dorsal fin ray and several melanophores present on gut in preflexion stage (1.9–4.7 mm BL); and spines on posterior basipterygial process, and urohyal, cleithrum, and epiotic without spines after postflexion stage (8.0–17.5 mm BL). The larvae are relatively small at metamorphosis (15–18 mm BL) compared with other bothid larvae.
