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
Barnacles are arthropods of the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea. They are related to crabs and lobsters, with similar nauplius larvae. Barnacles are exclusively marine invertebrates; many species live in shallow and tidal waters. Some 2,100 species have been described. Barnacle adults are sessile; most are suspension feeders with hard calcareous shells, but the Rhizocephala are specialized parasites of other crustaceans, with reduced bodies. Barnacles have existed since at least the mid-Carboniferous, some 325 million years ago. In folklore, barnacle geese were once held to emerge fully formed from goose barnacles. Both goose barnacles and the Chilean giant barnacle are fished and eaten. Barnacles are economically significant as biofouling on ships, where they cause hydrodynamic drag, reducing efficiency. Etymology The word "barnacle" is attested in the early 13th century as Middle English "bernekke" or "bernake", close to Old French "bernaque" and medi ...

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 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 are parasitic castrators. Their hosts are mostly decapod crustaceans, but include Peracarida, mantis shrimps and thoracican barnacles. Their habitats range 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. They also exhibit the most extreme sexual dimorphism of all animals. The females inject themselves into a host and take over their bodies, while the males inject themselves into a settled female and cease being independent organisms through the degeneration of all tissues except the ones responsible for spermatogenesis. The name Rhizocephala derives from the Ancient Greek roots (, "root") and (, "head"), describing the adult female, which mostly consists of a network of threa ...
