Consider a one-dimensional differential algebraic function field K over an algebraically closed ordinary differential field k of characteristic 0. We shall prove the following theorem:

Suppose that the group of all automorphisms of K over k is infinite. Then, K is either a differential elliptic function field over k or K = k(ν) with ν′ = ξ or ν′ = ην, where ξ, η ϵ k.
