Two species of dictyostelids ( Dictyostelium aureocephalum and Heterostelium filamentosum ) new to China were isolated from samples of forest soils; and a second Chinese record of Coremiostelium polycephalum (previously recorded from Taiwan) was also isolated. Descriptions and illustrations based on these isolates are provided.
