description
We describe three larvae that represent preflexion, flexion, and postflexion stages. The body of the larvae (Fig. 1) is deep at all stages (BD 48 - 54 %), with a large head (HL 40 - 50 %), and a long (PAL 60 - 69 %) and a coiled gut. Pigmentation The preflexion larva has a few internal melanophores on the neurocranium and along the base of the dorsal fin. A conspicuous melanophore marks the symphysis of the lower jaw, and is present in all specimens. At flexion, there are external stellated melanophores in the dorsal area of the neurocranium, along the base of the dorsal fin, and an internal dendritic melanophore in the posterior margin of the gut, near the anus. In the postflexion stage, the number of melanophores in the dorsal margin of the neurocranium has increased, and a few long, stellated melanophores are present in the base of the anal fin. Osteological development Neurocranium: The occipital region, the posterior portion of the neurocranium, is closed dorsally already in our smallest specimens (Fig. 2 A, B). It forms a small crest that is later covered by the dome-shaped supraoccipital (Fig. 2 C, D). The basioccipital has a caudad oriented projection (Fig. 2 A) that approa

total of five larvae of Callanthias platei were obtained, ranging from 3.0 mm NL to 6.1 mm SL (Table 2). Standardised abundance was low, varying from 0.30 to 3.27 individuals per 1000 m- 3 (Table 1).
