Nota preliminar sobre una nueva especie de marsopa del río de la Plata (Phocaena dioptrica)

Lahille, Fernando
Anales del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Buenos Aires (1912)

(...) La inspección de los dientes del animal, dientes muy pequeños, comprimidos y espatulados, me demostró que el delfín pertenecía al género Phocaena. Como por otro lado, los ojos se…

Neophocaena phocaenoides and Neophocaena asiaeorientalis: Taxonomical differences

Pilleri, G.; Chen, P.
Investigations on Cetacea (1980)

The Chinese finless porpoise of the Changjiang river, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis (PILLERI and GIHR, 1972) presents a taxonomic entity which differs from N. phocaenoides (G. CUVIER, 1829) of south and south-west…

The ‘black finless porpoise’ (Neophocaena phocaenoides Cuvier, 1829) is not black

Pilleri, G.; Zbinden, K.; Gihr, M.
Investigations on Cetacea (1976)

The widespread belief handed down through the cetacean literature for the past hundred years that the body colour of Neophocaena phocaenoides is black, is refuted by observations and photographs of…

Distinguishing between two species of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides and N. asiaeorientalis) in areas of sympatry

Wang, John Y.; Yang, Shih Chu; Wang, Bi J.; Wang, Lo S.
Mammalia (2010)

The existence of at least two biological species of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides and N. asiaeorientalis) was accepted only recently. Given the vulnerability of finless porpoises to human activities throughout…

Preliminary analysis of geographic variation in cranial morphometrics of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides)

Jefferson, T. A.
The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2002)

The taxonomy of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides), while better-studied than that of many species of small cetaceans, still suffers from some uncertainties and a general lack of data from…

McTaggart-Cowan, I.
Journal of Mammalogy (1944)

(...) The Dall porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli (True), occupies a rather restricted range in the northern Pacific. On the American side this extends from the Aleutian Islands to Santa Barbara Channel,…

A discussion of rarities among the smaller cetaceans caught in Japanese waters

Nishiwaki, M.
Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises [Proceedings] (1966)

There are many species of cetaceans in the waters around Japan. Some are migratory, but others seem to be permanent residents. The rarities among the small cetaceans caught by Japanese…
