Barnacles

The Catophragmidae are a family of barnacles in the superfamily Chthamaloidea with eight shell wall plates (a rostrum plate, carinal plates, paired rostrolateral plates, carinolateral plates I and II), surrounded by several whorls of imbricating plates. The basis is membranous.

Iblidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Iblomorpha. There are two genera in the family, each with its own subfamily.

Arcoscalpellum is a large genus of stalked barnacles found worldwide. It is classified in the family Scalpellidae, subfamily Scalpellinae, and species are found from shallow waters down to depths of over 5 kilometres. The genus is well-represented in the fossil record as far back as the Cretaceous period.

In the past, Koleolepadidae was considered a family of barnacles with a single genus, Koleolepas. Research published in 2021 by Chan et al. resulted in Koleolepas being moved to the family Heteralepadidae. The family Koleolepadidae is no longer active.

Verrucomorpha is an order of asymmetrical sessile barnacles in the class Thecostraca. They are typically found in deeper and deep-sea habitats. There are 2 families and more than 100 described species in Verrucomorpha.

Loxothylacus is a genus of parasitic barnacles in the family Sacculinidae. There are more than 20 described species in Loxothylacus.

In the past, Lernaeodiscidae has been considered a family of barnacles. Research published in 2021 by Chan et al. resulted in the genera of Lernaeodiscidae being merged with that of Peltogastridae, which now contains the members of both families. As an exception, the species Triangulus galatheae was moved to the genus Paratriangulus in the family Triangulidae.

Heterosaccus is a genus of barnacles in infraclass Rhizocephala. Like other taxa in this group, they parasitize crabs. Geoffroy Smith circumscribed the genus in 1906; he initially only included H. hians. Smith circumscribed a genus distinct from Sacculina due to a difference of the mesentery; in Heterosaccus, the mesentery does not stretch down to the mantle opening but rather only is present on the ring of attachment.

Dosima is a genus of goose barnacles in the family Lepadidae. There are at least two described species in Dosima.

Cryptophialus is a genus of barnacles. It was described by Charles Darwin in 1854.

Paralepas is a genus of goose barnacles in the family Heteralepadidae.

Peltogasterella is a genus of parasitic barnacles in the family Peltogasterellidae. There are at least four described species in Peltogasterella.

Euraphia is a genus of star barnacles in the family Chthamalidae. There are at least three described species in Euraphia.

Platylepas is a genus of barnacles in the family Platylepadidae of the subphylum Crustacea.

The Thompsoniidae are a family of parasitic barnacles belonging to the highly apomorphic superorder Rhizocephala, and therein to the more diverse of the two orders, the Akentrogonida.

Scillaelepas is a genus of barnacle. Most of the species in the genus are androdioecious and the genus dates back to the Upper Jurassic period.

Neoverrucidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Scalpellomorpha.

Menesiniella is a genus of barnacle in the family Balanidae that includes the following species:

Chamaesipho is a genus of four-plated notochthamaline barnacles in the Pacific Ocean limited to Australian/New Zealand temperate waters. They are intertidal in preference, and tend to form crowded columnar colonies. They can be identified in the field by having a four-plated wall, an unfused rostrum, and narrow opercular plates. Elminius, which also inhabits the same area, has four plates in its shell wall. However, in Elminius, the rostrum and rostrolatera are fused completely, and the compound rostrum receives the alae of the adjacent carinolaterals. In Chamaesipho, the unfused rostrum bears

Fistulobalanus is a genus of barnacles, comprising the following species: Fistulobalanus abeli (Lami & André, 1932) Fistulobalanus albicostatus (Pilsbry, 1916) Fistulobalanus amaraquaticus (Yamaguchi, 1980) Fistulobalanus citerosum (Henry, 1973) Fistulobalanus dentivarians (Henry, 1973) †Fistulobalanus klemmi Zullo, 1984 Fistulobalanus kondakovi (Tarasov & Zevina, 1957) Fistulobalanus pallidus (Darwin, 1854) Fistulobalanus patelliformis (Bruguière, 1789) Fistulobalanus shiloensis (Pilsbry, 1930) Fistulobalanus sumbawaensis Prabowo & Yamaguchi, 2005 Fistulobalanus suturaltus (Henry, 1973)

The barnacle genus Nesochthamalus was erected by Foster & Newman, 1987, to include sole species Chthamalus intertextus originally named by Darwin in 1854. It is widespread on islands in Western Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, and presents combinations of unusual features which make easily recognizable for field workers. These include dirty white shell exterior with deep purple colored interior, operculars colored purple. Opercular plates on each side calcify together in all but youngest individuals, and cannot be separated or easily distinguished from each other. This feature is shared only b

Phosphatothoracica is a paraphyletic superorder of barnacles in the infraclass Thoracica. It contains one extant order, Iblomorpha, as well as the extinct order Eolepadomorpha.

Ibla is a genus of barnacle. In 1848, Charles Darwin studied the genus and found species with hermaphrodites and tiny males. In this genus the number of androdioecious species is uncertain because some authors use the words female and hermaphrodite interchangeably.
