Description
Squilloidea
Alima-type larvae (Fig. 2A) are exclusive to the superfamily Squilloidea, which also contains the genus Alima. Currently the superfamily Squilloidea only contains the family Squillidae, and therefore one subtype is designated for this group. Adult squilloids are known to inhabit sandy or muddy-sand habitats from the intertidal zone to shelf and slope at depths, but are most common in subtidal shelf habitats. They typically build simple U-shaped burrows (Caldwell 1988). All larvae collected for this study were found in offshore pelagic habitats except for the last-stage larvae, which likely had returned inshore to the fine sand beach at Kailua to settle into juveniles.
