Egg: This egg was only recorded twice in the DHM samples, and on both occasions the egg was not photographed, or notes taken, so no image is available, and no description of the egg. Incubation is about 30 hours.
Larva: The NH larva has yellow pigment behind the eyes, and a solid band of yellow from mid-trunk to mid-tail (B), with the anus near the centre of the pigment band (B & B1, white arrow). B: NH, C: 3 days (26°C).
The egg was only separated from Pomadasys olivaceum (EIIIB4), by the size of the oil globule, and, post-hatch, that the larva had a gut length exceeding 50% of NL. The stringy horizontal lines of yellow pigment in the body, are also reminiscent of EIIIB4, but the oil globule is too big.
The egg was seen on two occasions, in February 1992 and January 1994, on each occasion as just a single egg.
