“…The familial and subfamilial classification, the definition of Pyromaia, and the distribution of species were recently reviewed, and are still controversial (Lemaitre et al, 2001 (Drach and Guinot 1983;Guinot and Richer de Forges 1997) or in the subfamily Inachoidinae (Pohle and Marques 2000). On the other hand, complete larval descriptions of species belonging to this group are scarce: Anasimus latus (Sandifer and Van Engel 1972), Paradasygyus depressus (Pohle and Marques 2000) and P. tuberculata (Fransozo and Negreiros-Fransozo 1997; this paper).…”

SUMMARY: The spider crab Pyromaia tuberculata (Lockington, 1877) (Decapoda, Majidae) has been recorded from eastern Pacific coasts (México to Colombia), the western Pacific (Japan and New Zealand) and the western Atlantic (southern Brazil, near Rio de la Plata estuary and Argentine). Larvae of P. tuberculata from one female collected on beds of oysters and mussels at 50 m depth on the Argentine continental shelf (38°21'S; 57°38'W) hatched in the laboratory and were successfully reared until the first crab stage. This paper redescribes the zoea and megalopa phases and describes the juvenil crab morphology.Key words: Pyromaia tuberculata, larval development, zoea, megalopa, Majidae, Argentina.RESUMEN: DESARROLLO POSTEMBRIONARIO DE PYROMAIA TUBERCULATA (LOCKINGTON, 1877): REVISIÓN DE LA MORFOLOGÍA LARVAL Y POSTLARVAL. -El cangrejo araña Pyromaia tuberculata (Lockington, 1877) (Decapoda, Majidae) ha sido reportado en la costa este del Pacífico (desde México hasta Colombia), costa oeste del Pacífico (Japón y Nueva Zelanda) y en la costa oeste del Atlántico (sur de Brasil, cerca del Río de la Plata y Argentina). Larvas de P. tuberculata provenientes de una hembra colectada en un banco de ostras y mejillones a 50 metros de profundidad en la plataforma Argentina (38°21'S; 57°38'W) y que eclosionó en laboratorio, fueron cultivadas con éxito hasta el primer estadio de cangrejo. Este trabajo redescribe la morfología de las fases de zoea y de megalopa y describe la morfología del primer estadío de cangrejo.
