Abstract
Morphological observation of a unialgal culture of Lingulodinium polyedrum was conducted under light- and scanning electron microscopes. Lingulodinium polyedrum was redefined as having the thecal formula of APC, Q, 5', 6", 6c, 6s, 5'", 2"" using the reinterpreted tabulation system. In our tabulation system, the Q, which is equivalent to the 3' in the strict Kofoidean system, was treated as an auxiliary platelet because of its considerable morphological variations in culture specimens. Subsequently, apical plates were redefined as plates directly connected to the APC and/or the Q. The 1"' and the 1p in the conventional Kofoidean system were treated as a component of the sulcus (the Ssa) and as an antapical plate (the 1""), respectively. Our reinterpreted tabulation system clearly differentiated extant gonyaulacalean taxa.
