Table 3.— Comparison of selected megalopal characters in three species of Cyclograpsus.

 zoeal stage VI. 



: megalopal stage obtained from 



We look to future studies that will provide de- 

 scriptions of several common genera in the Grap- 

 sinae (e.g., Geograpsus, Goniopsis), Sesarminae 

 (Metapograpsus), as well as to additional studies 

 on larvae of previously known genera in the 

 Plagusiinae {Plagnsia, Percnon), and Varuninae 

 (Euchirograpsus, Cyrtograpsus, and the as yet 

 unknown zoeae of Glyptograpsus). All have the 

 potential for providing further clarification of 

 relationships among the Grapsidae.
