Phocidae Gray 1821

Description

Family PHOCIDAE Gray, 1821

Three genera and four species of earless seals represent the Family Phocidae in Korea (Kim 2004). Because all records of Phoca vitulina were made under the name P. v. largha or were erroneous records (Kim 2004), we delisted P. vitulina from the Korean Phocidae.
