Abstract

A new barnacle, Chthamalus neglectus sp. nov. is described from Hong Kong. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy investigations of adult morphology show obvious differences from previously recorded Chthamalus species, and that this species belongs to the ‘C. challengeri group’ of Chthamalidae.
