For the first time the morphology of the decapodid stage of Neocrangon communis is described in detail. The decapodid can be distinguished from those of the genera Argis, Crangon, and Mesocrangon by the morphology of their telson, antennae, antennulae, and carapace. The main distinguishing features of the decapodid of N. communis were two spines on medial line of the carapace, a short rostrum, relatively wide scaphocerite, characteristic shape and length of the terminal setae on the telson. Drawings of general view and some limbs are presented. Впервые подробно описана личинка декаподитной стадии Neocrangon communis. Ли- чинка этого вида отличалась от соответствующей стадии представителей родов Argis, Crangon и Mesocrangon по морфологии тельсона, антенны, антеннулы и карапакса. Ос- новные признаки N. communis на стадии декаподит: два шипа на медианной линии ка- рапакса, короткий рострум и относительно широкий скафоцерит, характерная форма и длина апикальных щетинок на тельсоне. Приводятся рисунки общего вида и отдельных конечностей.
