TABLE 4. Morphological differences observed among Erichthus-type larvae with associated taxonomic identity assigned from molecular barcoding. Measured characters included: total length (mm) measured from rostral tip (when present) to telson tip; the intermediate denticles (IMD), submedian denticles on one side (SMD), and number of median (MD) carina present on the telson; spines and marginal teeth observed on the 6th abdominal somite (A6); general shape and features of the raptorial appendage (maxilliped 2). Dashes (—) indicate measurements could not be taken due to specimen damage or because records do not exist. Number of specimens observed for each morphotype are represented in parentheses after barcoding ID. For specimens where 0 larvae were observed, references were taken from Shanbhogue (1975).
