C.Rama Devi and Y.Ranga Reddy

Department of Zoology, Nagarjuna University Nagarjunanagar 522 510, India

Received on October 20, 1988; accepted on September 7, 1989 The complete postembryonic development of Tropodiaptomus informis comprises six naupliar and six copepodid stages of which the last is the adult. Of all the characteristics, it is the shape and number of setae on the terminal segments of the antennules in the late naupliar stages, and the shape and setae of exo- and endopods of the fifth legs from copepodids III to V which are most useful in constructing relationships among eight diaptomids reared.
