A NEW SPECIES OF EURAPHIA (CIRRIPEDIA, CHTHAMALIDAE) FROM MICRONESIA BY BRIAN A. FOSTER Department of Zoology, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand RÉSUMÉ Le Cirripède balanomorphe Euraphla montgomeryi n. sp. est décrit d'après des spécimens de Guam, recueillis sur des coquilles de grands E. hembeli (60 mm de diamètre), dans des crevasses littorales. E. montgomeryi est petit (2,8 mm de diamètre à l'état adulte), possède de curieuses invaginations entre tergum et scutum de chaque côté de l'opercule, et a une paire d'appendices caudaux uniarticulés. Son association avec des balanes égalements petites, telles que Tetraclitella divisa et un Tesseropora avec des larves cypris, qui sont largement distribuées sur les côtes tropicales pacifiques, permet du supposer que E. montgomeryi a aussi une large extension. INTRODUCTION Because tne chthamalid barnacles are largely intertidal in occurrence, variable shell morphologies have lead to much taxonomic confusion. Some of the species have received recent critical attention, examples being with species from Europe (Dando & Southward, 1980), the Caribbean (Southward, 1975), Australia (Pope, 1965) and the South Pacific (Foster & Newman, 1987). The revisionary work has focused on recognition of near-cryptic species, resolving synonymies and structuring supraspecific categories to better reflect our understanding of the
