English-language taxonomic monographs covering large numbers of species are published for the Gulf of Mexico, [45] the Indian Ocean, [46] the British Isles, [47] the Mediterranean [48] and the North Sea. [49] The main source for identification of freshwater dinoflagellates is the Süsswasser Flora. [50]
Oxyrrhis is widely regarded as having global distribution, but there are limited studies of its geographic range. [3] Most published data describe the range of Oxyrrhis as areas of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the USA, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic coasts of Europe, the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, and the western Pacific.

Gonyaulax is a genus of dinoflagellates with the type species Gonyaulax spinifera (Claparède et Lachmann) Diesing. Gonyaulax belongs to red dinoflagellates and commonly causes red tides. It can produce yesotoxins: for example, strains of Gonyaulax spinifera from New Zealand are yessotoxin producers. [4]
Lingulodinium polyedra is a species of motile photosynthetic dinoflagellates. L. polyedra are often the cause of red tides in southern California, leading to bioluminescent displays on beaches at night.
Dinoflagellates(Dinoflagellata) are a phylum of Alveolates eukaryotes. The taxon is subdivided in 8 classes (Ellobiophyceae, Psammosea, Oxyrrhea, Pronoctilucea, Duboscquellea, Syndiniophyceae, Noctiluciphyceae and Dinophyceae).
Dinokaryota is a main grouping of dinoflagellates. They include all species where the nucleus remains a dinokaryon throughout the entire cell cycle, which is typically dominated by the haploid stage. All the "typical" dinoflagellates, such as Peridinium and Gymnodinium, belong here.
Gymnodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates, a type of marine and freshwater plankton.It is one of the few naked dinoflagellates, or species lacking armor known as cellulosic plates.
Ceratium species belong to the group of dinoflagellates known as dinophysiales, meaning they contain armored plates. [2] They contain a pellicle, which is a shell, that is made from the cell membrane and vesicles; vesicles are composed of cross-linked cellulose , forming the plates. [ 2 ]
