REMARKS

Austromegabalanus psittacus is found along the coast of Peru and Chile in the Pacific Ocean and on the coast of Patagonia in the Atlantic Ocean (Darwin 1854; Lahille 1910; Pilsbry 1916). The northern limit of this species is 39°S in the Atlantic, and therefore its distribution is probably limited to the influence of Falklands Current (Young 1995) .
