Type Species: Orca (Orcaella) in Gray 1866

Species Orcaella brevirostris Owen in Gray 1866
Discussion: We follow Fordyce (1989), Heyning (1989 a), and Lint et al. (1990) in including Orcaella in the Delphinidae , not in the Monodontidae as was recently proposed ( Barnes et al., 1985; Kasuya, 1973).
