Decapodid stage of Neocrangon communis (Decapoda, Crangonidae) from the eastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk

N.A. Sedova & S.S. Grigoriev

Abstract. For the first time the morphology of the decapodid stage of Neocrangon communis is described in detail. The decapodid can be distinguished from those of the genera Argis, Crangon, and Mesocrangon by the morphology of their telson, antennae, antennulae, and carapace. The main distinguishing features of the decapodid of N. communis were two spines on medial line of the carapace, a short rostrum, relatively wide scaphocerite, characteristic shape and length of the terminal setae on the telson. Drawings of general view and some limbs are presented.

Key words: shrimps, morphological features, development, description, rostrum, telson, carapace, Sea of Okhotsk, Decapoda, Crangonidae, Neocrangon communis
