Description
Stenella attenuata (Gray, 1846) —Pantropical Spotted Dolphin
Steno attenuates Gray, 1846 p.44; Type locality- unknown but possibly India (Gray, 1843).
Prodelphinus froenatus: Kuroda, 1938 p.16.
Stenella frontalis: Won, 1958 p.434; Won, 1967 p.84.
Stenella attenuate: Kim et al., 2000 p.103; Kim, 2004 p.248.
Range: The species is most common in the East China Sea at the interface of the Yellow Sea and East Sea of Korea (Kim 2004; Fig. 105).
Remarks: Stenella attenuata was initially included in S. frontalis and regarded as a distinct species. Two subspecies of Pantropical spotted dolphin were recognized by mtDNA analysis (Escorza-Trevino et al. 2005): S. a. attenuata in tropical oceanic waters worldwide, and S. a. graffmani in the coastal waters of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (Perrin 2002). Stenella a. attenuata (Gray, 1846) inhabits the waters of Korea.
