Dinoflagellate cysts described in the literature have been linked to a particular motile stage through morphological similarities and/or co-occurrence in the same population/culture or through the technique of establishing the so-called cyst-theca relation by incubation of the cysts.

This category contains valid dinoflagellate species names. Alternate names (i.e. junior synonyms) are not included here. Italicized entries are articles about species in monotypic genera; these are redirected to their appropriate genus article.
The most common species is Noctiluca scintillans, also called N. miliaris.Blooms of this species are red-orange and can be bioluminescent when disturbed, [4] as are various other dinoflagellates, and large blooms can sometimes be seen as flickering lights on the ocean, known as the milky seas effect.
Polarella is a dinoflagellate, and, when described in 1999, was the only extant genus of the Suessiaceae family. [1] Since then, multiple extant genera in the family have been described. [ 2 ] The genus was described in 1999 by Marina Montresor, Gabriele Procaccini, and Diane K. Stoecker, and contains only one species, Polarella glacialis .
