In the present study, the Indo-Pacific coral associated barnacle  Cantellius euspinulosum  ( Broch, 1931 ) was found to have cryptic species in Korea, Taiwan and other regions based on molecular studies. However, the original specimens of  C. euspinulosum  from Broch have not been previously described or illustrated, making it difficult to assign which cryptic species to the original  C. euspinulosum . The original specimen of  C. euspinulosum  was examined and illustrated here, and the species identity of  C.  cf.  euspinulosum  collected from Jejudo Island in the present study and other cryptic species (based on literature illustrations) in the Indo-Pacific were evaluated. C. euspinulosum  from Singapore, Java, Mergui Archipelago in Andaman Sea and Nha Trang represented the  C .  euspinulosum  identified by  Broch (1931) . It is a generalist on  Acropora ,  Favia ,  Favites ,  Leptoria ,  Montipora ,  Pachyseris  and  Pocillipora  corals and distributed in the Indo-Pacific region. Morphological examination and DNA sequencing (COI, 12S DNA sequences) in the present study showed that  C . cf.  euspinulosum  from Jejudo Island, Korea represents a distinct species, herein named  C. alveoporae  sp. nov.  Cantellius alveroporae  sp. nov. is a specialist species that only grows on  Alveopora  and also present in Palau, and Ogasawara Island in Japan.  Cantellius  cf.  euspinuloum  in Taiwan, the Moscos Island, and Australia belong to several other distinct species awaiting further morphological and molecular studies. At least five cryptic species of  C .  euspinulosum  were identified in the present study, including both specialist and generalists.
