砂壳纤毛虫隶属于纤毛门、旋毛纲、环毛亚纲、砂壳目。本文总结了自Kofoid和Campbell(1929)以来的分类学资料,参照Lynn(2008)的分类系统,整理成世界砂壳纤毛虫新名录。厘清砂壳纤毛虫共有15科69属954种,其中海洋种为15科69属925种,淡水种为3科5属29种。在所有属中,以拟铃虫属(Tintinnopsis)包含物种最多,为137种,其中海洋种为118种。我国水体共记录有13科36属164种,海洋种13科36属144种,淡水种2科3属20种。除杯形铃壳虫(Codonella cratera)、湖泊领细壳虫(Stenosemella lacustris)、蜉蝣筒壳虫(Tintinnidium ephemeridum)、蝌蚪筒壳虫(Tintinnidium ranunculi)、半缘筒壳虫(Tintinnidium semiciliatum)、纺锤拟铃虫(Tintinnopsis fusiformis)、伊利诺拟铃虫(Tintinnopsis illinoisensis)、卵圆拟铃虫(Tintinnopsis ovalis)、圆柱拟铃虫(Tintinnopsis cylindrata)、这9个种外,其他淡水种在我国都有记录。该名录中,除了已有中文名的159种外,其余的种我们给出了中文译名,并将部分译为似铃虫属(Tintinnopsis)的中文名统一为拟铃虫属,部分译为麻铃虫属(Leprotintinnus)的中文名统一为薄铃虫属,将截短角口虫(Salpingella decurtata)改为截短号角虫,将冰生拟铃壳虫(Codonellopsis glacialis)改为冰生类铃虫。
A species checklist of contemporary living tintinnid(Ciliophora,Spirotrichea,Tintinnida) ciliates around the world was compiled according to references since Kofoid and Campbell(1929).A total of 954 species belonging to 69 genera and 15 families were listed in marine and fresh waters all over the world.Among them,925 species live in marine habitats and 29 species live in fresh water biotopes.Tintinnopsis is the most abundant genus.It has 137 species,of which 118 live in marine habitats.In China,164 species in-cluding 20 species in fresh waters,belonging to 36 genera and 13 families,have been recorded.Of them,144 species live in the seas.There were 9 species,namely Codonella cratera,Stenosemella lacustris,Tintin-nidium ephemeridum,Tintinnidium ranunculi,Tintinnidium semiciliatum,Tintinnopsis fusiformis,Tintinnop-sis illinoisensis,Tintinnopsis ovalis,and Tintinnopsis cylindrata,living in fresh waters in the list were not recorded in China.In the list,Chinese species name were given,of which159 were adopted from the present literature.We also revised Chinese name of Salpingella decurtata,Codonellopsis glacialisand several species of genera Tintinnopsis and Leprotintinnus.
