Abstract
During diving explorations of anchialine cave
systems on Abaco Island, Bahamas, we collected five larvae
that represent different developmental stages of remipede
crustaceans. Based on four early naupliar stages and a postnaupliar
larva, it is possible for the first time to reconstruct the
postembryonic development of Remipedia some 25 years after
their discovery. These specimens begin to fill in some critical
gaps in our knowledge of this important group of crustaceans.
