Abstract

A description of the laboratory rearing of Echinolampas (Palaeolampas) crassa (Bell) is given. The larvae are described from samples taken at intervals during the larval life history. At 15°C in the presence of autotrophic flagellates and diatoms as food, larval metamorphosis occurred 41 days after fertilization.
