碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋生物研究所 / 100 / Acrothoracican barnacles, also known as the boring barnacles, bores into the marine calcareous structures, including corals, gastropod and hermit crab shells, and the limestone rocks. At present, Kolbasov (2009) indicate acrothoracican barnacles consists of 65 species in 11 genera, three families and two orders of acrothoracican barnacles have been record worldwide. However, almost most of the studies in Acrothoracica were about its taxonomy. There were not many papers about its ecology. Diversity study of acorthoracican barnacles in Western Pacific Region is especially rare. In the past taxonomic studies in Taiwan, only Balanodytes taiwanus was described by Utinomi (1950) in Kaohsiung, and little information was known about the ecology and distribution pattern in Taiwan. This study focus on the identification and taxonomic studies of acrothoracican barnacles in the Western Pacific Region and South China Sea including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Philippines. We found eight genera Balanodytes, Auritoglyptes, Berndtia, Kochlorine, Lithoglyptes, Weltneria, Trypetesa, Cryptophialus and 15 species. 4 new species were identified and with 7 new record for Taiwan.
