The Pacific White-sided Dolphin was named by
Ben Beeri in 1865. The Pacific White-sided Dolphin is
extremely similar morphologically to the Dusky Dolphin,
which is found in the southern part of the Pacific.
Some researchers have suggested that they might form a
single species. Recent genetic work by Frank Cipriano rejects
this hypothesis and suggests the two species diverged about
two million years ago.
