Description Medium-sized species that has a characteristic posterior finger-like process; cells often occur in pairs, dorsally attached. Dorsal contour is gradually curved, whereas the ventral margin in lateral profile is generally straight along the main body. The posterior process varies in length and shape and the left sulcal list extends the length of the main body. Surface with areolations; type E.  [details]

Distribution Widely distributed in neritic waters of temperate to tropical areas of both hemispheres.

Description Medium-sized species that has a characteristic posterior finger-like process; cells often occur in pairs, dorsally attached. Dorsal contour is gradually curved, whereas the ventral margin in lateral profile is generally straight along the main body. The posterior process varies in length and shape and the left sulcal list extends the length of the main body. Surface with areolations; type E.  [details]

Distribution Widely distributed in neritic waters of temperate to tropical areas of both hemispheres. [details]

Harmful effect DSP outbreaks associated with blooms of D. caudata, often accompanying other dominant Dinophysis species have been reported from Europe, America, Asia and Australia. However, it is difficult to evaluate the contribution of D. caudata to the toxic outbreak. E.g.: outbreaks of D. acuminata together with D. caudata in the first DSP report from northern Argentina (Sar et al. 2011); with D. miles in the Philippines (Marasigan et al. 2001).

OA (7.9 - 56.5 pg/cell) and DTX1 (7.2 – 53.9 pg/cell) in picked cells from the Philippines analyzed by HPLC (Marasigan et al. 2001). Pectenotoxin-2 (PTX2) in cells from the Iberian Peninsula, LC-MS analyses (Fernández et al. 2001, 2006).

Identification This species superficially resembles D. tripos and D. diegensis. D. diegensis has been called a variety of D. caudata.  [details]

Synonymy See Schiller 1933 page 153 for old synonyms. Apparently no recent synonym, other than Dinophysis diegensis Kofoid 1907. This latter species is morphologically different but several authors report it as 'small cells' in the life cycle of D. caudata and D. tripos (Reguera et al. 1990, 1995; Moita & Sampayo 1993; Reguera & Gonzalez-Gil 2001; Reguera et al. 2007). [details]
