"Acorn barnacle Microeuraphia depressa (Poli, 1791) (Thecostraca: Balanomorpha: Chthamalidae) was recently found in Romania (northwestern Black Sea). Compact populations were found during a rapid biofouling survey in Constanta harbour, on artificial hard substrata (concrete) from the waterline up to 20 cm. Some hypothesis regarding actual and historical presence in the Romanian waters are discussed. Key-Words: Microeuraphia depressa, barnacle, Constanta harbour, Romania, Black Sea. "
