Abstract

The current distribution and abundance of Elminius modestus (Crustacea: Cirripedia) were examined at 15 sites along the Portuguese coast in March/April 1998. Elminius modestus was found at two sites only but was absent from a site where it had previously been recorded. The site at Faro is the most southerly location on continental Europe where Elminius has yet been recorded and it is nearly 300 km south of where it was previously found.
