Taxonomic remark Unavailable name, misidentification. Brief description of the specimen (fetus) is given. Philippi (1896:10, Plate 2 Figure 3) provides an external description and measurements. The current authors believe that the identification of Mead and Brownell (2005:729) is in error and the fetus is not identified as a synonym of Lagenorhynchus australis, but rather it should be defined as “Delphinid sp.” See Appendix 2 for more information. [details]
