Fragilidium duplocampanaeforme sp. nov. (Dinophyceae): a new phagotrophic dinoflagellate from the French Atlantic coast.

A new species of the genus Fragilidium, F. duplocampanaeforme sp. nov., is described from examinations by LM and SEM. This species has been recorded in summer on the French Atlantic coast, over a number of years. It was never abundant in the plankton and was very often associated with Fragilidium subglobosum, Pyrophacus horologium and also with toxigenic species of the genera Alexandrium and Di...

Prorocentrum Bimaculatum Sp. Nov. (dinophyceae, Prorocentrales), a New Benthic Dinoflagellate Species from Kuwait (arabian Gulf)(1).

A new benthic dinoflagellate species, Prorocentrum bimaculatum sp. nov., is studied from Kuwait's marine sediments, based on detailed morphological and molecular data. Cells are large, oblong oval in shape. They are 49.9-55.3 μm long and 38.4-43.2 μm wide. The ornamentation of this new species is peculiar, and characterized by smooth valves with large pores (0.32-0.50 μm) scattered on their sur...
