Distributions of offshore decapods in the eastern Pacific fall into a pattern of at least five clusters: the Aleutian Islands to Washington, Washington or Oregon to southern California, Baja California and the Gulf of California to central America, Panama or Colombia to Peru, and Chile to Cape Horn. These clusters are supported by distributional data at all depths considered, although there is more blurring of provincial boundaries at depths greater than 1500 m than at lesser depths. There is a sharp break in faunal distributions between that of northern Baja California and all areas to the south, largely due to the replacement of species of Pandalus to the north by species of Heterocarpus to the south. The northeastern Pacific is particularly rich in species of hippolytid shrimps and lithodid crabs and contains endemic genera of the families Crangonidae and Majidae. Species in these and other groups probably underwent extensive radiation in the late Cenozoic and dispersed from the northern Pacific into the northern Atlantic and less readily into the southern hemisphere. Compared to the northeastern Pacific, the western coast of South America is poor in the total number of species and the degree of endemism in decapods. Except for a few cosmopolitan species of the lower continental slopes, North and South America have no species in common.

Tetraclitella contains eight species, including T. karandei n. sp. from Mad'h Island, India, all of which are restricted largely to the Indo-West Pacific faunal province. Two groups may be recognized in this genus on the basis of opercular morphology. One species in each of these groups has radii that are elevated well above the surface of the parietes. In T. danvini the elevated radii serve to strengthen the shell in the absence of sutural ridges and denticulae; in T. karandei they probably create water turbulence and thus enhance the fishing capabilities of the cirral net. Tetraclitella comprises eight, relatively small, patelliform, balanomorph barnacles that occupy habitats low in the intertidal zone. They are confined largely to the Indo-West Pacific faunal province, contrary to the statement by Utinomi (1970: 349) that they are "mostly circumtropical." All of the species occur predominantly on continental islands but there are a few scattered mainland records. Exceptions to this distribution pattern are T. purpurascens, which ranges from Australia to India, and T. divisa which is the only species that occurs circumtropically (Ross, 1968: 14). The barnacle fauna of India and adjacent areas is relatively well known through the work of Annandale, Nilsson-Cantell, Karande (1966) and several contemporary Indian workers. Therefore, it is surprising to note the presence of a new tetraclitellan from Mad'h Island on the Bombay coast of India (Fig. 1). This new species is similar in many ways to the widely occurring T. purpurascens, and records for that species should be reevaluated in the light of the present discovery. Dr. A. A. Karande, who collected the specimens reported on here, informed me that it occurs on the under surface of rocks, low in the intertidal zone, where it normally remains moist during periods of low tide. The shells commonly are covered with a dense mat of brownish-green, finely particulate, organic matter. The associated animals include the ubiquitous Planaxis sulcatus Born and a species of Acmaea. The ecological conditions under which this species lives and the few animals with which it is associated do not differ appreciably from those of other species of Tetraclitella. Family Tetraclitidae Gruvel, 1903 Genus Tetraclitella Hiro, 1939 Definition. —Shell generally less than 20 mmin rostro-carinal diameter, patelliform, ribbed; compartments discrete; parietes with 2 or more rows of tubes; radii broad, flush with or raised above parietal surface, summits horizontal, tubiferous, lacking teeth or denticles on articular surface; alae non-tubiferous; basis membranous, calcareous peripherally or wholly calcareous; scutum transversely elongated or higher than wide, commonly ornamented externally, lacking crests for depresser muscles; mandible with 5 teeth and spine-like lower angle; maxilla I with 6-8 major spines below subapical notch.
