Additional information The type locality of E. hembeli in Conrad (1837) was recorded in California, near San Diego is an error. Please note the comment by Pilsbry (1916) - page 326-327 stated "The type-specimen of C. hemheli seems to be lost, or at all events I have not found it in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences. The locality was given by Conrad, on Thomas Nuttall's authority, as "near Sta. Diego." This seems to be incorrect, not only in the gender of the saint, but also in the habitat of the barnacle. No further specimens have been found in California, but we have positive records from the Hawaiian Ishinds. It is well known that the localities of some of Nuttall's Hawaiian and Californian shells were confused."by Benny Chan [details]
