Figure 2 in Integrative taxonomy of crustacean y-larvae (Thecostraca: Facetotecta) using laboratory-rearing and molecular analyses of single specimens, with the description of a new vermiform species

Figure 2. Example of newly collected sample of still living y-larvae collected on 19 October 2018 at Sesoko Island off the pier shown in Figure 1D, representing a variety of developmental stages. A, 25 y-larvae likely representing> 15 different species, including 18 early lecithotrophic nauplii (*), five planktotrophic nauplii (†) and two cyprids (§). None of the depicted specimens can be assigned to already described species, but three of the planktotrophic nauplii are similar to Itô's (1986a) Pacific type I and one is a cyprid of the type nicknamed 'Big brown', both types of which are sequenced as a part of this work and belong to the same clade as Hansenocaris demodex sp. nov. (see Fig. 15). B, close-up of selected y-larvae with same numbers assigned as in A. Live video of H. demodex and other y-larvae can be seen here: https://youtu.be/seo-63AK10E.
