description

We measured nine P. volitans larvae from 2.5 – 12.9 mm (Fig. 2 a – g) and examined others as supplemental material. Smallest preflexion larva characterized by precocious pectoral fins, deep base, elongate rays. Gut with single loop or “ twist ” (Fig. 2 a), and terminates slightly beyond mid-body; hindgut becomes rugose in early postflexion larvae. Flexion larvae with tips of longest developing pectoral rays to or beyond posterior margin of dorsal-fin base; by early postflexion, these rays extend to about terminal margin of caudal peduncle (CP) or beyond, if unbroken. Flexion larvae with pronounced “ hump ” in snout dorsal profile created by elevation of rostral cartilage (i. e., ascending process of premaxilla). Head deep, angle of lower jaw pronounced; snout typically 10 – 15 % shorter than OD; CP shortens, deepens as notochord flexes. Upper jaw terminates near mid-orbit; maxilla deepens near terminal margin, its maximum depth> 55 % OD. CP depth nearly equal to its length in postflexion and transforming larvae (Table 2). Seven BR. Pigmentation Pigmentation sparse in all larvae examined (Fig. 2 a – e). Internally, head with melanophore between lobes of midbrain in smallest larva, a
