Repomucenus richardsonii and R. valenciennei eggs were obtained from captive spawners, and the larvae were raised to the juvenile stage. Total lengths (TL) of newly-hatched prolarvae were 1.17±0.04 mm and 1.11±0.03 mm, respectively. Each species had 8-9+ 11-12 myomeres and a large oval yolk sac. Developmental changes in the two species were similar: absorption of the yolk was completed at 5-6 days after hatching at ca. 2.2 mm TL, all fin rays were fully developed at ca. 5.5 mm TL, and the transition to a demersal life style was completed at ca. 10-11mm TL. The postlarval stage of the two species can be distinguished by the melanophores on the ventral edge of the notochord, on the branchiostegal membrane, and on the ventral finfold. The juvenile stages can be distinguished by the melanophores on the branchiostegal membrane, on the pelvic fins, and just above the lateral line and the infraorbital canal pattern.
