Prodelphinus froenatus : Kuroda, 1938 p.16 . Stenella frontalis : Won, 1958 p.434 ; Won, 1967 p.84 . Stenella attenuate : Kim et al ., 2000 p.103 ; Kim, 2004 p.248 . Range: The species is most common in the East China Sea at the interface of the Yellow Sea and East Sea of Korea ( Kim 2004; Fig. 105 ). Remarks: Stenella attenuata was initially included in S. frontalis and regarded as a distinct species. Two subspecies of Pantropical spotted dolphin were recognized by mtDNA analysis ( Escorza-Trevino et al. 2005 ): S . a . attenuata in tropical oceanic waters worldwide, and S . a . graffmani in the coastal waters of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean ( Perrin 2002 ). Stenella a. attenuata ( Gray, 1846 ) inhabits the waters of Korea .
