The freshwater exuviotrophic apostome, Gymnodinioides caridinae , was discovered in the Songhua River where it flows through Harbin, People's Republic of China. This apostome species thus has been found in Japan, China, and Belgium, but on different species of shrimp in each place. Protargol impregnations of Gymnodinioides caridinae on Palaemonetes sinensis (Sollaud) confirmed most of Miyashita's original description of the infraciliature and may explain the structure he interpreted as an accessory contractile vacuolar canal.
