Abstract:
In 1959,according to W.B.Crow’s original diagnosis and figures of
Dimorphococcus fritschii Crow,C.C.Jao considered its coenobium structure to be compound protocoenobium,which is different from that eucoenobium of other species within Genus
Dimorphococcus.Therefore,he established a new genus,named
Dimorphoccopsis.But the type species had not been found in China up to that date.In 2004,we collected
Dimorphococcopsis fritschii(Crow) Jao from Qinglinjing Reservoir in Shenzhen.This study represents its first report in China.
