Platylepadidae
In the past, Platylepadidae has been considered a family of barnacle 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 eros ...s of the order Sessilia. Research published in 2021 by Chan et al. resulted in the genera of Platylepadidae being merged with that of Balanidae, except Stephanolepas which was moved to Chelonibiidae. In the same work, Sessilia was not retained as an order of barnacles. References Obsolete arthropod taxa {{Crustacean-stub ...

Family (taxonomy)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Barnacle
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. Peduncul ...

Order (taxonomy)
Order ( la, ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sessilia
Sessilia is an unranked clade of barnacles, comprising the barnacles without stalks, or acorn barnacles. They form a monophyletic group and are probably derived from stalked or goose barnacles. Sessilia is divided into two orders. The Verrucomorpha contain two families, Verrucidae and Neoverrucidae Neoverrucidae is a family of crustaceans belonging to the order Scalpellomorpha Scalpellomorpha is an order of acorn barnacles in the class Thecostraca Thecostraca is a Class (biology), class of marine invertebrates containing over 2,200 des ..., and the remaining 14 families are in the order Balanomorpha.

Balanidae
The Balanidae comprise a family of barnacles of the order Balanomorpha. As a result of research published in 2021 by Chan et al., the members of the family Archaeobalanidae were merged with this family. Genera These genera belong to the family Balanidae: * ''Acasta (crustacean), Acasta'' Leach, 1817 * ''Actinobalanus'' Moroni, 1967 * ''Amphibalanus'' Pitombo, 2004 * ''Archiacasta'' Kolbasov, 1993 * ''Armatobalanus'' Hoek, 1913 * ''Arossia'' Newman, 1982 * ''Austromegabalanus'' Newman, 1979 * ''Balanus'' Costa, 1778 (barnacle) * ''Bathybalanus'' Hoek, 1913 * ''Bryozobia'' Ross & Newman, 1996 * ''Chesaconcavus'' Zullo, 1992 * ''Chirona'' Gray, 1835 * ''Concavus'' Newman, 1982 * ''Conopea'' Say, 1822 * ''Eoatria'' Van Syoc & Newman, 2010 * ''Euacasta'' Kolbasov, 1993 * ''Fistulobalanus'' Zullo, 1984 * ''Fosterella (crustacean), Fosterella'' Buckeridge, 1983 * ''Hesperibalanus'' Pilsbry, 1916 * ''Hexacreusia'' Zullo, 1961 * ''Megabalanus'' Hoek, 1913 * ''Membranobalanus'' Hoek, 1913 ...

Chelonibiidae
Chelonibiidae is a family of turtle barnacles in the order Balanomorpha The Balanomorpha are an order of barnacles, containing familiar acorn barnacles of the seashore. The order contains these families: * Austrobalanidae Newman & Ross, 1976 * Balanidae Leach, 1817 (acorn barnacles) * Bathylasmatidae Newman & Ross .... There are at least three genera and about eight described species in Chelonibiidae. Genera These genera belong to the family Chelonibiidae: * '' Chelonibia'' Leach, 1817 * '' Stephanolepas'' Fischer, 1886 * † '' Protochelonibia'' Harzhauser & Newman, 2011 References Further reading * * Barnacles Crustacean families {{crustacean-stub ...
