Resumen

Los cangrejos violinistas son los braquiuros más representativos en los estuarios, están dentro de la familia Ocypodidae donde los machos presentan un fuerte dimorfismo sexual por un proceso llamado heteroquelacion, también tienen una gran capacidad adaptiva desde su etapa larval, por lo que son necesarios estudios que abarquen parte del desarrollo de estos organismos, Uca ornata es un cangrejo que tiene pocos estudios ecológicos y taxonómicos y la descripción larval es un primer paso, para esto se analizaron larvas de U. ornata obtenidas en cautiverio, donde se realizaron esquemas sobre el primer estadio larval, incluyendo una descripción de las características taxonómicas relevantes con ayuda de microscopía óptica y cámara para microscopio, los resultados se compararon con otras especies de cangrejos violinistas del mismo género encontrándose que dichas características permiten diferenciar a estas especies aunque sean de áreas geográficas distintas.
