This volume is divided into eight main chapters. The first seven chapters concern an introduction to the study of fossil and living dinoflagellates. A final chapter is the systematic classification of fossil dinoflagellates of China. It summarizes fossil dinoflagellate taxa published before the year 2006 in China. A total of 213 genera 13 subgenera and about 1000 species (forms) including subspecies and varietates are basically collected: of which, 2 new genera (Asymmetropecysta and Xishadinium), 5 new species (Asymmetropecysta scabrata, Batiacasphaera macropyla, Chytroeisphaeridia yujingxianii, Sicyoidium circulare and Xishadinium circulatum), 78 new combinations are proposed. In addition, holotype specimens are here designated for 10 species invalidly published; The English diagnosis of 50 species invalidly published by Xuet al, 197 is briefly given in this volume; 3 genera are treated as subgenera, as well as 6 genera and 22 species are treated as taxonomic junior synonyms.
