    Acrodelphis is a genus of extinct toothed whale from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) of Austria. The type and only species is A. letochae. [1]

    Taxonomy

    [edit]

    The genus Acrodelphis was erected by Abel (1900) for a variety of long-snouted odontocetes, including the type species of Champsodelphis.[2] However, no type species was designated for Acrodelphis. Abel (1905) removed Champsodelphis macrogenius from Acrodelphis and Trouessart (1906) designated Champsodelphis letochae as the type species of Acrodelphis.[3][4][5]
