dc.description.abstractThe South African Cirripedia (Thoracica) are reviewed for the first time in 88 years, since that of Barnard (1924). Data collection consisted of records from the South African Museum, previously published literature, and specimens collected in the field. The current state of knowledge of the taxon in South Africa has been considerably raised. Thirteen new records are added to the fauna, of Which 84.6% are cosmopolitan and 15.4% introduced species. This raises the total number of South African Cirripedia (Thoracica) to 86, of which 64.06% are cosmopolitan, 11.24% introduced and 24.7% endemic. Excluded from this, are three unknown species, which are likely to be new to science. Descriptions of these species will be undertaken outside of this thesis and published; however, they were classified as endemic and included in the analyses presented in Chapter three. Eleven of the new fauna can be described as "offshore benthic" and represent well known deep-water taxa.en_ZA
