The larval development of Oithonina nana (Giesbrecht) is described, noting how this differs from the development of Oithona similis and O. spinirostris. A key is given to its naupliar stages. The descriptions are based on individuals hatched and reared in the laboratory; in these experiments the duration of the life cycle has been shown to be dependent on temperature.
