What is the scientific definition of cephalorhynchus?
Cephalorhynchus is a genus in the dolphin family Delphinidae. It consists of four species:Commerson's Dolphin, Cephalorhyncus commersoniiChilean Dolphin, Cephalorhyncus eutropiaHeaviside's Dolphin, Cephalorhyncus heavisidiiHector's Dolphin, Cephalorhyncus hectoriThe species have similar physical features - they are small, generally playful, blunt-nosed dolphins - but they are found in distinct geographical locations.A recent phylogenetic analysis by May-Collado & Agnarsson (2006) indicates that two species traditionally assigned to the genus Lagenorhynchus, the Hourglass Dolphin L. cruciger and Peale's Dolphin L. australisare actually phylogenetically nested among the species of Cephalorhynchus, and they suggest that these two species should be transferred to the genus Cephalorhynchus. There is some acoustic and morphological support for this arrangement, at least with respect to Peale's Dolphin. According to Schevill & Watkins (1971), Peale's Dolphin and the Cephalorhynchusspecies are the only dolphins that do not whistle (no acoustic data are available for the Hourglass Dolphin). Peale's Dolphin also shares with severalCephalorhynchus species the possession of a distinct white "armpit" marking behind the pectoral fin.
