Note Type locality is close to New Holland...
Type material Type locality is close to New Holland (Australia) and Cape Horn, Chile as this specimen was collected “quelques jours après” (translated as: a few days after) Delphinus cruciger Quoy and Gaimard, 1824. Dolphins were seen on the same voyage and a few days after those distinguished as D. cruciger (above), therefore presumably also observed between Australia and Chile, around 49ºS in January of 1820. A lateral drawing and a short description of external appearance are given: “…et qui se faisoit remarquer par une bandelette blanche de chaque côté de la tête” (translated as: having a white strip on each side of the head). Quoy and Gaimard also noted that D. albigena might be a younger form of D. cruciger. [details]
