We used 344 mitochondrial control region (717 bp) sequences from the finless porpoise (genus Neophocaena) from the northwestern Pacific to investigate the extent and manner in which past climatic oscillations may…
Revision of the taxonomy of finless porpoises (genus Neophocaena): the existence of two species
Jefferson, Thomas A.; Wang, John Y.
Journal of Marine Animals and Their Ecology (2011)
Due to extensive morphological variation and inadequately-sampled or poorly-designed studies, the taxonomy of the finless porpoises (genus Neophocaena) has been controversial for some time. An uneasy stability with the arrangement…
The black finless porpoise, Meomeris
Allen, G.M.
Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (1923)
Among the collections brought back by Mr. F. R. Wulsin after a year’s stay in China are three skeletons and an entire body of the small porpoise, Meomeris phocaenoides, a…

True, F.W.
Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington (1903)
(...) In 1893 Dr. R. A. Philippi, Director of the National Museum of Chili, described several new species of porpoises and commented on various South American forms previously known. In…

(...) Once more I am indebted to the Director - Lieut.-Colonel F. W. Dawson - of the Trevandrum Museum for sketches and measurements of certain Cetaceans recently captured on the…
Contributions to the natural history of the cetaceans, a review of the family Delphinidae
True, F. W.
Bulletin - United States National Museum (1889)
(Phocoenid-related excerpts) (...) NEOMERIS Gray This genus appears to have but one character to distinguish it from Phocaena, namely, the absence of a dorsal fin. I was unable to discover…
Family Phocoenidae Gray, 1825
Rice, D.W.
Marine Mammals of the World: Systematics and Distribution (1998)
(page 121) (...) Miller (1925) and Kellogg (1928) included the true porpoises in the family Delphinidae and did not even grant them subfamily status. However, Slijper (1936) and Fraser and…
Preliminary study on genetic differences between two species of finless porpoises, genus Neophocaena, with lack of genetic divergence between two subspecies of the narrow-ridged finless porpoise, N. asiaeorientalis: cytochrome b sequence analyses
Koh, H. S.; Jo, J. E.; Ahn, N. H.; Lee, J. H.; Kim, K. S.; Jin, C. W.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2013)
Using samples from bycaught finless porpoises, cytochrome b sequences were analysed and phylogenetic trees were constructed. The aims were to: (1) determine genetic divergences within the genus Neophocaena; (2) examine…
