Abstract
The first zoeas of two shallow-water galatheids, Lauriea gardineri (Laurie 1926) and Phylladiorhynchus integrirostris (Dana 1853), are described and illustrated from laboratory-hatched materials. The first zoeal morphology of L. gardineri is very similar to that of Galathea amboinensis De Man 1888, and there are only a few minor morphological differences between the two species. The first zoea of P. integrirostris is readily distinguished from other known galatheid larvae by the presence of a pair of posterodorsal spines on the fourth and fifth abdominal segments.
