Delphinus

Delphinus is a scientific category for one species or a couple species of what we call dolphins. The data available is back and forth over whether there is one species, two species, or three species within this genus. The two dolphin ecotypes are Delphinus (delphi) delphi, Delphinus (delphi) capensis, and Delphinus (delphi) tropicalis. If they are one species, then the name is likely Delphinus delphi.
