Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen, 1833) —Striped Dolphin

Delphinus coeruleo-albus Meyen, 1833 p.43; Type locality- South Atlantic near Rio de la Plata (off coast of Argentina and Uruguay).

Prodelphinus coeruleo-albus: Kuroda, 1938 p.15 .

Stenella coeruleoalba: Kim et al., 2000 p.102; Kim, 2004 p.247.

Range: The range of S. coeruleoalba follows the path of the Kuroshio Current around Korea (Kim et al. 2000; Fig. 106).

Remarks: Genetic studies confirmed that the Genus Stenella was paraphyletic (LeDuc et al. 1999), but so far no taxonomic decision has been made. Based on cytochrome b, S. coeruleoalba is closer to Delphinus and Tursiops than other species from the Genus Stenella (LeDuc et al. 1999) .
