A new benthic dinoflagellate, Coolia areolata Ten-Hage, Turquet, Quod & Couté sp. nov., was isolated from sandy substrata in La Possession Bay, La Réunion, and at various other sites in the western Indian Ocean. This new species is described and illustrated by light and scanning electron micrographs and drawings. The plate formula of C. areolata is P03'7? 6c 6?s 5'? 2??. Cell size ranges are 30–36.5 µm long and 28–36.5 µm wide. Cells are spherical, areolate, and covered with scattered round pores. The surface of the apical plate 1' is smooth. The apical pore is 9–10 µm long. Cells of C. areolata are distinguished from C. monotis and C.tropicalis by thecal surface morphology, thecal plate size and shape, and apical pore length.
