Abstract
A new species of Schizophrys collected from the coral reef of Biadah, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is described herein with its first zoeal morphological features. Each rostral extension of this species has one accessory spine on the outer and inner margin, a character unique to this species. Several other combinations of characters distinguishing this species from its congenerics are provided. A set of characters demarcate the first zoea of this species from its congenerics: the presence of seven setae on the coxae of maxillule, one seta on the proximal segment of the endopod of maxilliped II and two lateral spines on each of the forks of the telson. Other morphological differences of the larvae of this species with the other majid larvae are also discussed herein.
