Three species of tintinnines, namely Tintinnopsis tentaculata Nie and Cheng, 1947, Tintinnopsis orientalis Kofoid and Campbell, 1929, and Eutintinnus lususundae (Entz, 1885) Kofoid and Campbell, 1939, were isolated from coastal waters of China. The morphology of each was investigated based on observations of live and protargol-stained specimens, and their SSU rDNA- and LSU rDNA-based phylogenetic relationships were analyzed. The ciliary patterns of these species are revealed for the first time. Based on the original descriptions and data from the present study, an improved diagnosis is given for each species. Unlike its congeners, the second dorsal kinety of Eutintinnus lususundae is displaced below the left ciliary field, which may suggest that the second dorsal kinety is evolving into a posterior kinety by a migration process. The ventral kinety in Eutintinnus is redefined. A neotype is fixed for T. tentaculata to stabilize the species name objectively, mainly because of the unavailability of type material.
