We report here a checklist of tintinnids (loricate ciliates) for the coastal zone of India. Based on available literature (1978 to 2017), a total of 25 stations were studied from 5 distinct areas of Indian coastal waters. A total of 151 species of 33 genera belonging to 14 families of tintinnids were documented. Diversity patterns of tintinnids were recorded higher along the west coast (30 genera and 106 species) than the east coast of India (20 genera and 93 species). Among tintinnids families, the Codonellidae (2 genera and 52 species, 20%) and the Tintinnidae (8 genera and 21 species, 19%) are the major contributors to the total tintinnids diversity in the Indian coastal zone.
我们在此报告印度沿海地区的砂壳纤毛虫（有纤毛的纤毛虫）清单。根据现有文献（1978 年至 2017 年），从印度沿海水域的 5 个不同区域共研究了 25 个站点。共记录了 14 科 33 属的 151 种砂壳纤毛虫。砂壳纤毛虫的多样性模式记录显示，西海岸线（30 属 106 种）的记录高于印度东海岸（20 属 93 种）。在砂壳纤毛虫科中，Codonellidae（2 属 52 种，20％）和 Tintinnidae（8 属 21 种，19％）是印度沿海地区砂壳纤毛虫总多样性的主要贡献者。
