Abstract
An updated overview of cirripede taxa (Thoracica, Pedunculata) from hemipelagic facies of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (Czech Republic) is presented. In addition to previously recorded data, recently collected capitular plates of Cretiscalpellum glabrum, Diotascalpellum angustatum, semi-articulated Stramentum pulchellum and unpublished specimens in the Josef Soukup Collection are described and illustrated herein. Soukup’s material comprises a near-complete capitulum of Diotascalpellum angustatum; this represents the best-preserved individual of that species known to date. A revised picture of the stratigraphical distribution of cirripedes from the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, and a discussion of habitat preferences and distributional patterns of each taxon within this area are added. This paper is part of the special volume: Jagt, J.W.M., Fraaije, R.H.B., Van Bakel, B.W.M., Donovan, S.K., Mellish, C. & Schweigert, G. (eds.): A lifetime amongst fossil crustaceans: a tribute to Joseph S.H. Collins (1927–2019).
