    Ovigerous females of Pachygrapsus transversus (Gibbes, 1850) were collected on the Praia Dura and Saco da Ribeira beaches, Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. Larvae were individually reared in a climatic room at 25ºC temperature, salinities of 28, 32 and 35‰ and under natural photoperiod conditions. The best rearing results were observed at 35%o salinity. Seven zoeal instars were observed, drawing and described in detail. The data are compared with those obtained for P. gracilis (Saussure, 1858)

    The goal of this study is to provide an illustrated identification key to distinguish zoeal phase of Brachyuran larvae that occur in the estuarine and nearby coastal region of the Patos Lagoon. The key includes species, collected monthly, using a conical net (165 cm long, 60 cm mouth and 330 μm mesh). Sampling was carried out on surface and deep waters. The identification was based on specimens reared under laboratory conditions as well as from previous published studies. This key was constructed upon external morphological characters, easy to observe under a stereomicroscope and moreover, the presentation of figures allows a non-specialist to make identifications more easily.O objetivo do presente estudo é a elaboração de uma chave de identificação ilustrada das espécies de Brachyura que ocorrem no estuário da Lagoa dos Patos e sua região costeira adjacente. A chave abrange espécies as quais foram coletadas mensalmente, usando uma rede de plâncton (165 cm de comprimento, 60 cm de boca e 330 μm de malha). As amostragens foram realizadas na superfície e fundo. Os especimens foram identifcados mediante comparação com larvas cultivadas em laboratório e com descrições já existentes. A chave utiliza caracteres que não sofrem grandes transformações ao longo do desenvolvimento, e a utilização de figuras para ilustrar a chave permite a não especialistas facilmente identificar as espécies
