Lithoglyptes hirsutus (Cirripedia: Acrothoracica), A New Burrowing Barnacle from Hawaii

Abstract

Two samples of coral from Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii , have each yielded a number of specimens of a new species of acrothoracican burrowing barnacle of the family Lithoglyptidae. Samples of Psammocora verrilli Vaughan collected by Stephen A. Wainwright,2 and of Porites compressa Dana collected by Charles Stasek, were referred to me by William A. Newman. These barnacles are the first representatives of the order Acrothoracica known from Hawaii.
