GENUS Orcaella

Author:Gray, 1866.
Citation:Cat. Seals Whales Brit. Mus.: 285.
Type Species:Orca (Orcaella) brevirostris Owen in Gray, 1866.
Comments:We follow Fordyce (1989), Heyning (1989a), and Lint et al. (1990) in including Orcaella in the Delphinidae, not in the Monodontidae as was recently proposed (Barnes et al., 1985; Kasuya, 1973).
