In this study, strains of Amphidinium from seaweeds and dead corals around Weizhou Island, Guangxi, China were isolated by single cell capillary pipette and cultured. The morphological features and phylogenetic analysis were determined based on light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and molecular biology techiniques. Three Amphidinium species were identified, namely, Amphidinium operculatum, Amphidinium massertii and Amphidinium caeterae, among which A. operculatum and A. massertii were new records in China. The differences in morphology and phylogeny between different species were analyzed and compared. It was found that the morphological characteristics of the three Amphidinium species were significantly consistent with model species. This study adds information to the diversity and phylogenetic evolution of Amphidinium species in China, and extented the distribution of two new Amphidinium species to the coastal waters of southern China.
