Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Murakami et al. 2014 (Eodelphis) | Differing from all delphinids by having a medially positioned premaxillary foramen, a partially trans- versely directed suture line between the palatine and pterygoid on the palate, and prominently long and ventrolaterally extended posterior process of the periotic with the attenuating posterior bullar facet. Differing from all delphinids except Orcinus and Hemisyntrachelus spp. by having a wide ascending process of the left premaxilla relative to the right premaxilla at level of the mid- dle of the external nares. Differing from all delphinids except Australodelphis and Hemisyntrachelus oligodon by possessing a right premaxilla with a nearly straight lateral edge from the an- torbital notch to the level of the middle of the external nares. Differing from all delphinids except Australodelphis by possess- ing a left premaxilla that prominently overhangs the maxilla. Dif- fering from all delphinids except Pseudorca, Orcaella, Orcinus, and Sotalia by having a long lateral lamina of palatine extend- ing beyond the level of the anterior margin of the frontal groove. Differing from all delphinids except Astadelphis, Hemisyntra- chelus, Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, Orcinus, Pseudorca, Sousa, and Steno by having a dorsoventrally deep mandible. |
