Abstract
The setae and setulation of the nauplius appendages of Tetraclitella karandei Ross from Bombay have been illustrated and described. Emergence of the setae at each successive moult follows the general cirripede pattern. The number of setae in this species is generally more than in three other Tetraclita species so far described. When only the numbers of setae, and not the setulation, at each moult are considered, these are found to be identical to a distantly placed balanid, Balanus kondakovi Tarasov & Zevina and not to three tetraclitid barnacles so far described.
