Abstract

Four species of coral-inhabiting barnacles (Pyrgomatinae) are reported. A single species, Cantellius septimus, was found in Montipora from the Kermadec Islands; this represents the most southerly record of coral-inhabiting barnacles. The material from the Niue Island contains three species, Savignium crenatum, Trevathana dentata, and a new species, Trevathana niuea n. sp. Trevathana niuea is compared with other species of Trevathana.
