Acrothoracican barnacles of the genusBerndtiaare exclusive coral borers and the type species isBerndtia purpureaUtinomi, 1950a, reported in the coralsLepastrea purpureaandPsammocora profundacellain Wakayama, Japan. We confirmed the type is only from the coralLepastrea purpureaand is distributed from Japan, Taiwan to Hong Kong. In contrast,B. purpureafromPsammocorabelongs to a new speciesBerndtia haradaisp. nov., which is distributed from Japan to Okinawa. The other new species identified in the present study,Berndtia denticulatasp. nov. is common in Okinawa but also collected on the Pacific side of the Philippines.Berndtia utinomiisp. nov. is found on NE coast of Taiwan, Kochi and Wakayama in Japan and Vietnam but is absent from Okinawa.
