A new record of the spiny lobster, Panulirus femoristriga (von Martens, 1872) from the coastal waters of Malaysia, with revision of global distribution
Background Spiny lobsters of the family Palinuridae Latreille, 1802 are known to be industrial crustaceans in the global fishing market amongst other crustacean marine species. Panulirus femoristriga has been reported in the Maldives, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia (Ambon, Irian Jaya, Celebes Island, Seram Island), the Polynesian Islands, Solomon Islands, New Hebrides, Wallis and Futuna and off the coast of northern Australia, but there is uncertainty about their distributions due to the morphological similarity with Panulirus femoristriga, Panulirus longipes bispinosus and Panulirus brunneiflagellum. However, the identification on P. femoristiga can only be confirmed if the morphological descriptions are mentioned in literature
Figure 9 from: Jiang G-C, Chan T-Y, Shih T-W (2017) Larval development to the first eighth zoeal stages in the deep-sea caridean shrimp Plesionika grandis Doflein, 1902 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Pandalidae). ZooKeys 719: 23-44. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.719.20916
The larvae of the deep-sea pandalid shrimp Plesionika grandis Doflein, 1902 were successfully reared in the laboratory for the first time. The larvae reached the eighth zoeal stage in 36 days, both of which are longest records for the genus. Early larval stages of P. grandis bear the general characters of pandalid shrimps and differ from the other two species of Plesionika with larval morphology known in the number of spines on the anteroventral margin of carapace, number of tubercles on antennule, endopod segmentation in antenna, and third maxilliped setation. Although members in Plesionika are often separated into species groups, members of the same species group do not necessarily have similar early larval morphology. Since the zoea VIII of P. grandis still lacks pleopods and fifth pereiopod, this shrimp likely has at least 12 zoeal stages and a larval development of 120 days

H. abulbus H. hayashii H. sibogae H. ensifer The morphology of larvae have been known in nine pandalid genera (Atlantopandalus, Pike & Williamson 1964 [Z 1, Z 7; Z = Zoea]; Austropandalus, Thatje & Bacardit 2000 [Z 1 –Z 5]; Chlorotocus, Heegaard 1969 [Z 1]; Dichelopandalus, Lebour 1940, Pike & Williamson 1964 [Z 1 –Z 6], Pandalina, Lebour 1940, Pike & Williamson 1964 [Z 1 –Z 7, P = Post-larva]; Pandalus, Lebour 1940, Pike & Williamson 1964 [Z 1 –Z 6]; Stylopandalus, Lebour 1940 [Z 1 –Z 9, P]; Plesionika, Landeira et al. 2009 [Z 1 –Z 5]; Heterocarpus, Iwata et al. 1986, Landeira et al. 2010 [Z 1 –Z 5]). Common characters of pandalid larvae are: eye peduncle narrowed at base; carapace with two dorsal protuberances and anteroventral margin bearing spines, antennule with peduncle strongly concave and exopod bearing spatulate seta; antennal exopod segmented; rostrum well-developed since early stages (also see Thatje & Bacardit 2000, Landeira et al. 2010). For the first zoeal stage, however, there are no clear difference found amongst different pandalid genera. With respect to the genus Heterocarpus, the first zoeae of only two species were known, namely H. ensifer (Landeira et al. 2010) and H. sibogae (Iwata et al. 1986). However, the description of H. sibogae is rather brief and the present work re-describes the first zoea of this species in details. With the addition of H. abulbus and H. hayashii, the first zoeae of four species in this genus are now known. All of them share the common characters of anteroventral margin of carapace bearing spines, carapace with dorsomedian tubercles on anterior and posterior parts, and antennule with spatulate seta. On the other hand, the first zoeae of these four species can be readily distinguished by the following characters (also see Table 1): (1) Spines on anteroventral margin of carapace: Other than the pterygostomian spine, H. sibogae differs from the other three species in bearing only one additional spine at the anteroventral margin of carapace (vs. 2 spines in others). Heterocarpus abulbus can also be separated from H. ensifer and H. hayashii in the one of the two additional spines at the anteroventral carapace being rather weak (both spines very distinct in H. ensifer and H. hayashii). (2) Body size and rostral length: The size of the zoea is much larger for H. abulbus (body length 2.44 mm) as compared to the other three species (body lengths 1.93 mm, 1.89 mm, 1.88 mm in H. ensifer, H. hayashii and H. sibogae, respectively). The rostrum of H. ensifer is distinctly shorter than the other three species in only extending to the middle of the antennular peduncle (vs. reaching or overreaching distal margin of antennular peduncle). (3) Appendage setation: The endopod of maxillule has three subterminal setae in H. ensifer, whilst the other three species have only two subterminal setae. Heterocarpus abulbus can be further separated from H. hayashii and H. sibogae in having two instead of one seta on the coxa of the second maxilliped. Moreoever, H. sibogae has a somewhat different endopod setation at the second maxilliped (2, 1, 2, 4 vs. 3, 1, 2, 4– 5 in the other three species, see Table 1). As in adults, the first zoeae of H. ensifer, H. hayashii and H. sibogae are more similar than with H. abulbus, which belongs to a different species group than the former three. On the other hand, although adults of H. ensifer, H. hayashii and H. sibogae are rather similar, distinct differences are already present amongst the zoeae of these closely related species. All these suggested that larval characters can provide important insights to the understanding of the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships amongst Heterocarpus shrimps.Published as part of Jiang, Guo-Chen, Chan, Tin-Yam & Shih, Tung-Wei, 2014, Morphology of the first zoeal stage of three deep-water pandalid shrimps, Heterocarpus abulbus Yang, Chan & Chu, 2010, H. hayashii Crosnier, 1988 and H. sibogae De Man, 1917 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea), pp. 428-436 in Zootaxa 3768 (4) on pages 432-435, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3768.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/21860
