“…Ross & Newman (1995) indicated that the name Utinomia is pre-occupied and proposed Galkinia as a replacement. However, Perreault (2014) discovered that Galkinia was itself preoccupied and replaced it with Galkinius. Ross & Newman (2002), in an updated nominal list of coral-inhabiting barnacles, based on earlier studies, allocated the pyrgomatids with four shell plates and fused scutum and tergum to two genera, the monospecific Creusia and Galkinius with four nominal species.…”

Barnacles of the genus Galkinius occupy a large spectrum of host corals, making it one of the least host‐specific genera within the Pyrgomatidae. Molecular analyses show that within the genus Galkinius there are highly supported clades, suggesting that the genus Galkinius is a complex of evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). The morphology of the opercular valves has been used as the basis for the separation of species of Galkinius. In this study, morphological variability was found both between specimens within ESUs extracted from different host species and between specimens extracted from the same colony. Identifications based on the opercular valves cannot therefore be assigned to different species despite being genetically distinguishable. It is proposed that in many cases the differences between valve morphology of different species of Galkinius are the outcome of ontogeny. Allometric growth of the valves has resulted in differences in the proportions of the parts of the valve. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London

“…Ross and Newman (1995) renamed Utinomia as Galkinia , and designated G. indicum (Annandale, 1924) as the type species. Perreault (2014) pointed out the generic name Galkinia Ross & Newman, 1995 was preoccupied by a genus of fossil fish, Galkinia Ghekker, 1948 (Actinopterygii: Pholidophoriformes). He therefore renamed Galkinia as Galkinius Perreault, 2014, thereby continuing to recognize Galkin’s contribution to cirripede taxonomy.…”

A new species of coral associated barnacle (Balanomorpha: Pyrgomatidae) sharing morphological features of Darwiniella (Anderson, 1992) and Galkinius Perreault, 2014 is described. It has a fused shell and opercular plates, characteristic of Darwiniella. However, the morphology of the tergum and somatic body are closer to Galkinius. Sequence divergence of mitochondrial DNA 12S rDNA and COI reveals this new species clusters with the Galkinius clade. Therefore this new form is assigned to the genus Galkinius, as G. maculosus sp. n. Concomitantly the diagnosis of Galkinius is emended to include species with fused or four- plated shells and fused opercular plates. The new species is distinct from all Galkinius species in having a fused shell. It inhabits the corals Lobophyllia spp. and is distributed from the Dongsha Atoll in the South China Sea, Orchid Island of Taiwan in the Pacific Ocean, to Madang in Papua New Guinea waters.
