Charles Atwood Kofoid (11 October 1865 – 30 May 1947) was an American zoologist known for his collection and classification of many new species of marine protozoans which established marine biology on a systematic basis.
Kofoid also wrote a volume on the biological stations of Europe.[1]
In 1920, Kofoid and Olive Swezy published Pavillardia Kof. & Swezy 1920Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". (a genus of dinoflagellates) in Univ. Calif. Publ. Zool. pages 323-324. It was named in honour of Jules Pavillard.[3]
In 1921, Kofoid and Olive Swezy, wrote a book about unarmored dinoflagellates in La Jolla, California, in which they described a new genus called Torodinium (with Torodinium robustum and the type species Torodinium teredo).[4] They also published Gyrodinium, which is a genus of dinoflagellates belonging to the order Gymnodiniales in 'Memoirs of the University of California'. vol.5.[5]
In 1929, botanist Pavillard first described Kofoidinium, which is a genus of dinoflagellates belonging to the family Kofoidiniaceae.[6]
Kofoid was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1913,[7] the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1922,[8] and the American Philosophical Society in 1924.[9]
