Notobalanus is a genus of acorn barnacles in the family Balanidae. There are at least two described species in Notobalanus. [1] [2] [3]
These species belong to the genus Notobalanus:
Barnacles are a type of arthropod constituting the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, and are hence related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are exclusively marine, and tend to live in shallow and tidal waters, typically in erosive settings. Around 1,000 barnacle species are currently known.
Balanus is a genus of barnacles in the family Balanidae of the subphylum Crustacea.
Thoracica is an infraclass of crustaceans which contains the most familiar species of barnacles found on rocky coasts, such as Semibalanus balanoides and Chthamalus stellatus. They have six well-developed limbs, and may be either stalked or sessile. The carapace is heavily calcified. The group includes free-living and commensal species.
The Chthamalidae are a family of chthamaloid barnacles, living entirely in intertidal/subtidal habitats, characterized by a primary shell wall of eight, six, or four plates, lacking imbricating plate whorls, and either membraneous or more rarely calcareous basis. They are not found below immediate subtidal habitats, and more likely are found in the highest tier of shallow-water barnacle fauna. They can be found in the most rigorous wave-washed locations, and some species are found in the surf zone above high tide mark, only receiving water from wave action at high tide.
Whale barnacles are species of acorn barnacle that belong to the family Coronulidae. They typically attach to baleen whales, and sometimes settle on toothed whales. The whale barnacles diverged from the turtle barnacles about three million years ago.
Megabalanus is a genus of barnacles in the family Balanidae. Members of the genus grow to 7 cm (2.8 in) in length and inhabit the lower intertidal zone.
Chthamalus is a genus of barnacles that is found along almost all non-boreal coasts of the northern hemisphere, as well as many regions in the southern hemisphere. These small barnacles have been studied in part because of the taxonomic confusion over a group of species that, by and large, are morphologically and ecologically quite similar. In recent years, molecular techniques have identified a number of cryptic species that have been subsequently confirmed by taxonomists using morphological measurements. Most recently the genus has been shown to be paraphyletic, with the genus Microeuraphia nested within Chthamalus.
Concavus is a genus of barnacles.
Coronula is a genus of whale barnacles, containing the following species :
Platylepas is a genus of barnacles in the family Platylepadidae of the subphylum Crustacea.
Austrobalanus is a genus of symmetrical sessile barnacles in the family Austrobalanidae, the sole genus of the family. There are at least three described species in Austrobalanus.
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.
Epopella is a genus of symmetrical sessile barnacles in the family Tetraclitidae. There are about six described species in Epopella.
Jehlius is a genus of star barnacles in the family Chthamalidae. There are at least two described species in Jehlius.
Octomeris is a genus of star barnacles in the family Chthamalidae. There are at least three described species in Octomeris.
Verruca is a genus of asymmetrical sessile barnacles in the family Verrucidae. There are about 20 described species in Verruca, around half of them extinct.
Notomegabalanus is a genus of acorn barnacles in the family Balanidae. There are about 12 described species in Notomegabalanus.
Trevathana is a genus of coral barnacles in the family Pyrgomatidae. There are about 11 described species in Trevathana.
Tetrapachylasma is a genus of symmetrical sessile barnacles in the family Pachylasmatidae. There are about five described species in Tetrapachylasma.
Notobalanus vestitus is a species of acorn barnacle in the family Balanidae.
