Two poorly known tintinnine ciliates collected from the coastal waters of PR China, viz., Wang, 1936 and Nie & Ch'eng, 1947, were redescribed and neotypified using live observation, protargol staining and SSU rRNA gene sequencing. Ciliature information and SSU rRNA gene sequence data of both species were revealed for the first time and improved diagnoses were given based on the original descriptions and data from the present study. Further phylogenetic analyses inferred from SSU rRNA gene sequences and morphological data suggested that the genus is polyphyletic and that the genus is non-monophyletic. The approximately unbiased test, however, does not reject the possibility that is monophyletic.
两种来自中国沿海海域的鲜为人知的纤毛虫，即 1936 年的 Wang 和 1947 年的 Nie & Ch'eng，使用活体观察、蛋白银染色和 SSU rRNA 基因测序进行了重新描述和新典型化。这两个物种的纤毛结构信息和 SSU rRNA 基因序列数据首次被揭示，并根据原始描述和本研究的数据给出了改进的诊断。进一步的系统发育分析表明，属是多系的，而属是非单系的。然而，近似无偏检验并不排除属是单系的可能性。
