A new species of Trachelomonas was collected in China. We analysed the specimen based on its morphological and molecular data. The loricae morphological were similar to two other species, T. lefevrei and T. planctonica. However, the new species formed a sister group with T. bernadinensis, T. lefevrei and T. planctonica in the phylogenetic tree. These results suggest it to be a new species, Trachelomonas subplanctonica sp. nov.

Keywords: China, Euglenophyta, phylogeny, Trachelomonas
