Chrysochromulina parva Lackey (1939), which had not previously been recorded in China, is found from Lake Donghu, Wuhan from winter to spring. It occurred at high density of 8357.6 cells/ml on February 5, 1991 and 8737.0 cells/ml on January 15, 1992 at water temperatute 6-8℃ in sample station I, Lake Donghu. The nigher population density lasts about one month.
