"The early ontogeny of Lophonectes gallus (Bothidae) is described based on 83 specimens (1.9-17.5 mm BL), collected from the Tasman Sea off southeastern Australia. The larvae are diagnosed by the following array of characters: vertebrae 10 + 30-31 = 40-41; one elongated dorsal fin ray and several melanophores present on gut in preflexion stage (1.9-4.7 mm BL); and spines on posterior basipterygial process, and urohyal, cleithrum, and epiotic without spines after postflexion stage (8.0- 17.5mm BL). The larvae are relatively small at metamorphosis (15-18 mm BL) compared with other bothid larvae."
