COMMENTS: See Perrin (1975) who placed Delphinus malayanus in Stenella attenuata , as is done here; Pilleri and Gihr (1973-74) considered borneensis , plumbea and lentiginosa to be distinct species. Mitchell (1975) combined those species into S. chinensis ; Brownell (1975b) included Stenopontistes zambezicus as a synonym of S. plumbea .
