New species of cirripedes (Calanticidae and Archaeobalanidae) from the Late Burdigalian (Miocene) of the North Alpine Foreland Basin

Two new species of cirripedes are described from mid Burdigalian (Ottnangian) deposits in Lower Bavaria (Germany) and Upper Austria. A third species, “Arcoscalpellum” sp., is left in open nomenclature. Scillaelepas danningeri sp. nov. is the seventh extinct species belonging to the genus Scillaelepas. It is characterized by: a tergum with the occludent margin much longer than the upper carinal margin and internally with the apical part raised and marked by growth-lines cut by fine radial striae; a scutum externally with the tergal surface marked by a groove, with or without ridges, radiating from the apex. Conopea bacata sp. nov. is the sixth fossil species belonging to the genus Conopea and one of the oldest. This species is characterized by its shell with growth ridges beaded. In addition, Paractinobalanus moronii Carriol, 2008 is assigned to Conopea Say.
