Of phyllosoma larvae of the subfamily Scyllarinae collected in the western North Pacific, 19 individuals (BL = 10.1‒38.5 mm) having an onion-shaped cephalic shield were selected. Phylogenetic analysis using partial mitochondrial 16S rDNA and COI sequences revealed that these larvae were of Galearctus lipkei. Gilled (final) stage phyllosoma larvae (BL = 34.2‒38.5 mm) of G. lipkei were the largest in this subfamily reported to date.
