Description
Summary:Australophocaena dioptrica (Lahille, 1912). Ann. Mus. Nat. Hist., Buenos Aires, 23:269. TYPE LOCALITY: Argentina, Buenos Aires, "capturado en Punta Colares, cerca de Quilmes". DISTRIBUTION: Southern Hemisphere: cold-temperate waters; Uruguay, Argentina; Falkland, South Georgia, Heard, Macquarie and the Auckland Isis, perhaps Kerguelen Isis. Perhaps circumpolar, see Baker (1977). STATUS: CITES - Appendix II. SYNONYMS: stornii. COMMENTS: Reviewed by Brownell (1975a, Mammalian Species, 66, as Phocoena dioptrica). Barnes (1985) proposed Australophocaena to house this species. Phocaena obtusata is synonymous with Cephalorhynchus eutropia. See Goodall et al. (1988). Published as part of James G. Mead & Robert L.
