List Of Cirripedia Genera
These genera belong to Cirripedia, a subclass of barnacles in the phylum of Crustacea, as classified by Chan et al. (2021) and the World Register of Marine Species. Their classification into order, superfamily, family, and subfamily is included.

Cirripedia
A barnacle is a type of arthropod constituting the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea, and is hence related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are exclusively marine, and tend to live in shallow and tidal waters, typically in erosive settings. They are sessile (nonmobile) and most are suspension feeders, but those in infraclass Rhizocephala are highly specialized parasites on crustaceans. They have four nektonic (active swimming) larval stages. Around 1,000 barnacle species are currently known. The name is Latin, meaning "curl-footed". The study of barnacles is called cirripedology. Description Barnacles are encrusters, attaching themselves temporarily to a hard substrate or a symbiont such as a whale ( whale barnacles), a sea snake ('' Platylepas ophiophila''), or another crustacean, like a crab or a lobster (Rhizocephala). The most common among them, "acorn barnacles" ( Sessilia), are sessile where they grow their shells directly onto the substrate. Pedunculate ...

Clistosaccus
''Clistosaccus'' is a genus of barnacles which are parasitic on hermit crabs. It is a monotypic genus, and the single species is ''Clistosaccus paguri'', which is found in the northern Atlantic Ocean and the northern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy In his 1861 paper, Wilhelm Lilljeborg described two new monotypic genera, ''Apeltes'' (with the species ''A. paguri'') and ''Clistosaccus'' (with ''C. paguri''), both collected from ''Pagurus'' hermit crabs. It was not until the 1920s that Hilbrand Boschma pointed out these two purported species, at the time placed in separate families, were but two distinct growth stages of the same organism and united them under ''Clistosaccus''. Description This parasitic barnacle starts life as an internal parasite in the abdomen of its host hermit crab. After about three months a protuberance, known as an "externa", pushes its way through the abdomen, usually on the left side. This bulge is at first globular, but elongates as it grows, becoming cylindric ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Clistosaccidae
Clistosaccidae is a family of parasitic barnacles belonging to the bizarre and highly apomorphic infraclass Rhizocephala, which is part of the barnacle subclass Cirripedia. The family contains two genera: * ''Clistosaccus ''Clistosaccus'' is a genus of barnacles which are parasitic on hermit crabs.

Rhizocephala
Rhizocephala are derived barnacles that parasitise mostly decapod crustaceans, but can also infest Peracarida, mantis shrimps and thoracican barnacles, and are found from the deep ocean to freshwater. Together with their sister groups Thoracica and Acrothoracica, they make up the subclass Cirripedia. Their body plan is uniquely reduced in an extreme adaptation to their parasitic lifestyle, and makes their relationship to other barnacles unrecognisable in the adult form. The name Rhizocephala derives from the Ancient Greek roots (, "root") and (, "head"), describing the adult female, which mostly consists of a network of thread-like extensions penetrating the body of the host. Description and lifecycle As adults they lack appendages, segmentation, and all internal organs except gonads, a few muscles, and the remains of the nervous system. Females also have a cuticle, which is never shed. Other than the minute larval stages, there is nothing identifying them as crustaceans or ...
