Holotype Whole mount with skull (BM 41.1734) in the British Museum (Natural History), London. [details]IUCN Red List Category Data Deficient (DD) [details]
Synonymy Further molecular studies could help to ascertain whether the holotype specimen of Delphinus capensis matches Delphinus delphis. These problems of typology, involving 19th century specimens and the names based on them, will gradually be resolved by ongoing molecular and morphometric studies. [details]
