Abstract We describe from surface waters near Tonga a
subfinal or final stage phyllosoma larva with a circular cepahalon which we
refer to Puerulus angulatus (Bate, 1888). It is the largest and most
advanced larva of Puerulus yet described, and is only the second larva
from the South Pacific Ocean for this genus.
Keywords Puerulus; phyllosoma; taxonomy
