Summary:
Leander tenuicornis (Say) and Latreutes fucorum (Fabricius) are two caridean shrimps abundant on floating sargassum. The ovigerous females were captured offshore of Dade and Broward Counties in southern Florida. Larvae were reared in a recirculating system and in plastic compartmented trays in sea water of 35 parts per thousand at 24-30°C. The larval development of Latreutes fucorum is comprised of nine morphological stages and has a duration between 18 and 30 days in the laboratory. Larval and postlarval stages of this species are described. The larval development of Leander tenuicornis is comprised of eight morphological stages. These are described and compared to larvae of other members of the genus descr-ibed as well as other previously described specimens of L. tenuicornis. Distinctions between larvae of L. tenuicornis and those of other members of the genus in addition to peculiarities shown by the adult, are sufficient to suggest the erection of a new genus to include this form.
