Stenella coeruleoalba
(
Meyen, 1833
)
—Striped Dolphin
Delphinus coeruleo-albus
Meyen, 1833 p.43
;
Type
locality- South Atlantic near Rio de la Plata (off coast of
Argentina
and
Uruguay
).
Prodelphinus coeruleo-albus
:
Kuroda, 1938 p.15
.
Stenella coeruleoalba
:
Kim
et al
., 2000 p.102
;
Kim, 2004 p.247
.
Range:
The range of
S. coeruleoalba
follows the path of the Kuroshio Current around
Korea
(
Kim
et al.
2000
;
Fig. 106
).
Remarks:
Genetic studies confirmed that the Genus
Stenella
was paraphyletic (
LeDuc
et al
. 1999
), but so far no taxonomic decision has been made. Based on cytochrome
b
,
S. coeruleoalba
is closer to
Delphinus
and
Tursiops
than other species from the Genus
Stenella
(
LeDuc
et al.
1999
)
.
