Pereiopods ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A–E; 6L). P1–4 biramous with ventral coxal spine and 5-segmented endopod; basis-ischiomerus (fused) with abundant spines scattered over the surface. Two large distal spines on ischio-merus and carpus; with long and strong spines on distal end of propodus, increasing in length from P1 to P4. Exopods with 22–26, 21–24, 18–22, 14–18 annulations respectively, each annulation carrying two long setae. Dorsal side of P1–3 covered with many spines, fewer on P4. P5 rudimentary and 2-segmented; exopod absent.

Pleon ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 L). Undeveloped and unsegmented; with 4 pairs of rudimentary pleopods. Biramous uropods undeveloped. Telson with 2 long processes and 4 setae on posterior margin (one pair on dorsal and one pair on ventral sides).

Phyllosoma, subfinal stage (PHMF 56, PHMF 48, SNECII-E89_02)

Dimensions. N = 3; TL = 19.4–20.3 mm; CL = 12.6–13.1 mm; CW = 15.3–16.2 mm; PDL = 4.1–5.4 mm.

Cephalic shield ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A). Subrectangular, 1.2 × wider than long.

Antennule ( Fig. 5 B). Accessory flagellum slightly longer than primary. Primary flagellum with 13–14 rows of aesthetascs.

Antenna ( Fig. 5 B). Widening inner ramus. Same length as antennule.

Mandibles ( Fig. 5 E, H). Similar to stage VII but with more teeth on both mandibles.

Maxillule ( Fig. 5 K). Uniramous. Coxal endite with 12 setae (2 long and strong, and 10 small setae) and basial endite with 13 setae (3 long and strong, and 10 small setae).

Maxilla ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 B). Endite and endopod poorly differentiated. Scaphognathite (exopod) rectangular shaped and with small anterior and posterior expansions. Lateral process of endite with trapezoidal shaped.

First maxilliped ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 B). Rudimentary and slightly bilobed.

Second maxilliped ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 B). 5-segmented with 0,1,3,13,3 setae respectively. Spines of fourth segment form a crown around the base of dactyl.

Third maxilliped ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 I, J). More spines than previous stage.

Pereiopods ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A–E; 6M). P1–4 with more spines than stage VII; exopods with 32–34, 27–34, 30–32, and 23–30 annulations respectively. P5 without exopod, 3–segmented and reaching base of uropods; coxa with ventral spine and 2 spines on ischio-merus.

Pleon ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 M). Four pairs of bilobed pleopods longer and narrower than stage VII; bilobed uropods; margin of telson is concave; elongated processes of telson shorter with respect to telson length. Two rows of 14–15 setae on ventral and dorsal side of telson.
