Аннотация:Three species of the genus Heteralepas Pilsbry, H. microstoma Gruvel, H. meteorensis Carriol, and H. alboplaculus, were found in surveying materials from the Canary Islands and the Azores. Their morphology was described in detail and compared with earlier descriptions by other specialists. The new species is similar to H. adiposa and H. cygnus, but it differs from them in having numerous small calcareous knobs, four mandible teeth, and a great number of caulad segments. The form of capitulum in H. alboplaculus differs greatly from that in H. cygnus. The form and distribution of the mantle ultrastructure are also different in the barnacles investigated and may be used in the heteralepadid taxonomy. Functions of some cuticular structures are discussed.
