Numerous incomplete descriptions exist of larval development of the Grapsidae l)ut they are usually based on reconstructions from planktonic material or confined to the first zoeal stage obtained from hatching in the laboratory. Cano (1891) described the development of Pachygrapsus marmoratus up to the crab stage but Hyman (1924) questioned the staging of the three zoeal stages by Cano (1891) and describes 5 zoeal stages from material collected at Beaufort, N. C. Conn (1884), comparing portions of larvae of Brachyura and Macrura, includes some appendages and the telson of Sesarma before and after hatching. Hyman (1924) gave a description of the first zoeae and appendages of Sesarma reticulata and, in describing the first stage of S. cinereum, noted that the two species are very similar morphologically. Aikawa (1929) described the first zoeae of Sesarma sp. l)riefly and figured the first stage of S. picta (1937), comparing setation of some append ages with the description given by Hyman. Thus only the first zoeal stage of any species of Sesarma has been described. The purpose of the present study has been to rear the larvae of Sesarma cinereum (Bosc) in the laboratory, from hatching to the first crab stage, and provide a description of all larval stages.
