Genus Tursiops Gervais, 1855
The Genus Tursiops was previously viewed as monospecific (Mead & Brownell 2005). The current taxonomy by Mead and Brownell (2005) includes two species, T. aduncus in Indian and western North Pacific Ocean and T. truncatus with a worldwide distribution. Both species occur in the waters of Korea.
