Lagenorhynchus is a genus of oceanic dolphins in the infraorder Cetacea, presently containing six extant species.[3] However, there is consistent molecular evidence that the genus is polyphyletic[4] and several of the species are likely to be moved to other genera. In addition, the extinct species Lagenorhynchus harmatuki is also classified in this genus.[5]
