Acrodelphis

Acrodelphis is a genus of extinct toothed whale from the Early Miocene of Austria. The type and only species is A. letochae.

Taxonomy

The genus Acrodelphis was erected by Othenio Abel for a variety of long-snouted odontocetes, including the type species of Champsodelphis. However, no type species was designated for Acrodelphis. Abel removed Champsodelphis macrogenius from Acrodelphis and Trouessart designated Champsodelphis letochae as the type species of Acrodelphis.
