Description
Leander tenuicornis (Say) and Latreutes fucorum (Fabricius) are two
caridean shrimps abundant on floating sargassum. The ovigerous females
were captured offshore of Dade and Broward Counties in southern Florida.
Larvae were reared in a recirculating system and in plastic compartmented
trays in sea water of 35 parts per thousand at 24-30°C. The larval
development of Latreutes fucorum is comprised of nine morphological stages
and has a duration between 18 and 30 days in the laboratory. Larval and
postlarval stages of this species are described. The larval development
of Leander tenuicornis is comprised of eight morphological stages. These
are described and compared to larvae of other members of the genus
descr-ibed as well as other previously described specimens of L. tenuicornis.
Distinctions between larvae of L. tenuicornis and those of other
members of the genus in addition to peculiarities shown by the adult, are
sufficient to suggest the erection of a new genus to include this form.
