Material and locality. Three small and long lumbar vertebrae; Saur-Mohyla.

Comparison. A kentriodontid of this morphotype and size is Imerodelphis thabagarii from the Volhynian of Georgia ( Mchedlidze, 1964). A vertebra identified earlier by Macarovici and Zaharia (1967) as Phocaena euxinica has similar size and proportions and, therefore, may represent this or a closely related taxon. However, the type material of Phocaena euxinica does not include vertebrae ( Nordmann, 1860) and requires further revision.
