Abstract

The parasitic barnacles, Rhizocephala, are a little known group within Australia with only seven

described species from a coastline stretching approximately 59763 km. This study describes a new

species of Rhizocephala, Sacculina nectocarcini. The description is based on a unique combination

of features pertaining to the structure of the mantle papillae, the retinaculae and the male

receptacles. Biological notes, prevalence and intensity of infection are reported for this

rhizocephalan, infesting the red rock crab, Nectocarcinus integrifrons, collected from Western Port,

Victoria, Australia.
