Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821). Mem. Wernerian Nat. Hist. Soc., 3:75, pl. 3. TYPE LOCALITY: UK, England, Devonshire, "in Duncannon Pool, near Stoke Gabriel, about five miles up the River Dart". DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide: temperate to tropical waters, including the Black Sea. STATUS: CITES - Appendix II. SYNONYMS: aduncus, gephyreus, gillii, nesarnack, nuuanu. COMMENTS: See Leatherwood and Reeves (1990). Ross and Cockroft (1990:124) considered aduncus to be synonymous with truncatus. Hall (1981:885-887) considered nesarnack and gillii distinct species, and synonymized truncatus with nesarnack.
