Stenella
Stenella is a genus of aquatic mammals in Delphinidae, the family informally known as the oceanic dolphins.[1][2][3] Currently five species are recognised in this genus:
- Pantropical Spotted Dolphin, S. attenuata[2]
- Atlantic Spotted Dolphin, S. frontalis[2]
- Spinner Dolphin, S. longirostris [2]
- Clymene Dolphin, S. clymene[2]
- Striped Dolphin, S. coeruleoalba[2]
The common name for species in this genus is the "spotted dolphins" or the "bridled dolphins".[1][2] They are found in temperate and tropical seas all around the world.[1][2] Individuals of several species begin their lives spotless and become steadily more covered in darker spots as they get older.[1][2]
The genus name comes from the Greek stenos meaning narrow.[1][2] It was coined by John Gray in 1866 when he intended it as a subgenus of Steno.[1] Modern taxonomists recognise two genera.[1][2]
