Abstract
The dinoflagellateGymnodinium heterostriatum Kofoid et Swezy is described anew from live material of the upwelling region off the NW African coast. The characteristics that distinguish it fromGymnodinium striatissimum Hulburt, a species with which it has been mistaken since the original description, are discussed.
