Ibla quadrivalvis is a species of barnacle in the Iblidae family.[2] The common name for this species is hairy stalked barnacle.[3]

The species was studied by Charles Darwin.[4] He first described that this specie is androdioecious.[5]

They live under rocks, in damp cracks and among colonies of tube worms.[3] They are the only stalked barnacle living permanently on rocky shores of south-eastern Australia.[6]
