Molecular phylogeny and synonymy of Balechina gracilis comb. nov. (= Gymnodinium gracile), a widespread polymorphic unarmored dinoflagellate (Dinophyceae)
Gymnodinium gracile , described from the coasts of Denmark in 1881, is one of the first described unarmored dinoflagellates. Individuals that morphologically fit with the original description were isolated from the English Channel (North‐East Atlantic). The SSU rRNA gene sequences were identical to...

Gymnodinium gracile , described from the coasts of Denmark in 1881, is one of the first described unarmored dinoflagellates.
