Abstract
The abbreviated larval development of a fresh-water prawn from Thailand, Macrobrachium niphanae Shokita and Takeda, is described and illustrated in detail. Two zoeal, 1 megalopal, and 2 juvenile stages are distinguished, and their characteristics are compared with those of related species which have an abbreviated larval life.Keywords
