Mammalia - Cetacea - Eurhinodelphinidae

Taxonomy
Eurhinodelphis longirostris was named by Du Bus (1867). It is not extant. Its type specimen is MRHN 3249. Its type locality is Anvers, which is in a Miocene/Pliocene marine horizon in Belgium.

It was recombined as Rhabdosteus longirostris by Myrick (1979); it was recombined as Schizodelphis longirostris by Muizon (1988), Bianucci and Landini (2002) and Lambert (2005).
