SEKIGUCHI, HIDEO (Faculty of Bioresources, Mie University). 1988. Taxonomical and ecological problems associated with phyllosoma larvae. Benthos Research (Bull. Jap. Assoc. Benthology), 33/34, 1-16. Several taxonomical and ecological problems, associated with phyllosoma larvae of the scyllarid and palinurid lobsters, are discussed as follows: (1) discrepancy between classification of phyllosoma larvae and their adults, based mainly on SEKIGUCHI (1986a), SEKIGUCHI snd SAISHO (1988) and unpublished data, (2) geographical distribution of the Panulirus japonicus group, based on SEKIGUCHI (1988), (3) relative abundance of the Panulirus species in Japanese and adjacent waters, based on SEKIGUCHI (1988), (4) phyllosoma larvae in Japanese waters, based on Wada et al. (1985), SAISHIO et al. (1983) and SEKIGUCHI (1986b, c), (5) why P. japonicus does not inhabit in Bonin (Ogasawara) waters and Japan Sea, based on SEKIGUCHI (1988), (6) mistery of the early life history of Panulirus japonicuslarval recruitment processes of the species, based on SEKIGUCHI (1985, 1986c).
