Notochthamalus scabrosus, the only species in the genus Notochthamalus,[2][3] is a species of barnacle found along the south-western and south-eastern coasts of South America, from Peru to the Falkland Islands.[4] The species is found almost exclusively higher in the intertidal zone than the mussel Perumytilus, often codistributed with the confamilial barnacle Jehlius cirratus and Balanus flosculus.[1]: 468 [5]
