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 (1905) removed
Champsodelphis macrogenius from
Acrodelphis and Trouessart (1906) designated
Champsodelphis letochae as the type species of
Acrodelphis. == References ==
