“… Megabalanus zebra is a well-known fouling species of ship hulls, floating structures, moveable oil platforms, etc., and has been widely recorded from the Atlantic Ocean; W Africa; Indo-west Pacific: Indian Ocean; Australia; Thailand; China; Philippines; Taiwan ( Pilsbry 1896 , 1916 ; Stubbings 1961 ; Karande and Pakelar 1966; Foster and Willan 1979 ; Chan et al 2009a ; Jones and Hosie 2016 ; Pitombo et al 2017 ). In this study, Megabalanus zebra was found on Ambon Island (at Galala and Laha) on stones and the capitulum of Lepas anserifera (a map with the occurrence of Megabalanus zebra in the Moluccas is shown in Suppl.…”

To contribute to the taxonomic knowledge of barnacles in this understudied area, the first checklist of barnacles from the Moluccas is presented, including additional information on morphology, distribution, and substrate as well as molecular data. The species of barnacles from the Moluccas have been determined using morphological analysis and DNA sequences. During 19 field trips conducted between January 2016 and September 2017, 1,513 specimens of 24 species of intertidal and one species of deep-sea barnacles were collected from 51 localities from the islands. Morphological and molecular analysis of the collected material detected members of three families of stalked barnacles and four families of acorn barnacles. In addition to sampling in the field, we also surveyed the literature on barnacles from the Moluccas. In total, our checklist comprises 97 species from the Moluccas including 23 new records, two of them yet to be described species. Results suggest that the Moluccas have a much higher diversity of barnacles than previously known, for example, from the reports of Challenger and Siboga expeditions. For further work, routine application of molecular systematics could aid the detection of cryptic species, while increased sampling of more islands and a taxonomic revision of several groups would likely lead to an even higher number of species than currently known.

“…The majority of studies on the barnacle fauna of the region are pre-1970, although barnacles are some of the most potent marine organisms passively distributed to new areas via human activity (Tottrup et al 2010;Farrapeira et al 2007). Acasta spongites (Poli, 1795) was the first recorded species from the region (Gruvel, 1902), Nilsson-Cantell (1938) reported 13 species from the Persian Gulf and four from the Gulf of Oman and Stubbings (1961) reported five species from the Kuwait coast in the Persian Gulf. Utinomi (1969) examined material collected by the Danish Expedition 1937/1938 and recorded 16 species, of which 13 are from the Persian Gulf and nine from the Gulf of Oman.…”

The present annotated checklist contains 43 species of thoracican barnacles known to date from the area, 33 and 26 from the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, respectively. Nine species are new records for the area including Amphibalunus subalbidus (Henry, 1973), Armatobalanus allium (Darwin, 1854), Chelonibia patula (Ranzani, 1818), Conchoderma hunteri (Owen, 1830), Lepas anserifera Linnaeus, 1767, Lithotrya valentiana Reinhardt, 1850, Megabalanus coccopoma (Darwin, 1854), Megabalanus occator (Darwin, 1854) and Platylepas hexastylos (Fabricius, 1798), of which A. subalbidus and M. coccopoma are reported as alien species from the region.

“…There are limited studies on the fauna of the Iranian coast and barnacles are not exempt in this regard. Previous studies on barnacle fauna of the area are limited to Gruvel (1902), Nilsson-Cantell (1938), Stubbings (1961), Jones (1986) and Utinomi (1969). The latter work is the most comprehensive study on material collected primarily from the subtidal zone during the ‘Danish Expedition’ in Iran.…”

In the present study, chthamalid barnacles of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman were collected from the coastal zone of Iran. Extensive collecting of different habitat types resulted in finding two species: Chthamalus barnesi and Microeuraphia permitini. In addition to the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, the former species was also collected from the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Both species are described and compared for their key characters with some representative members of the genera from other parts of the world.
