Type material Type locality is between “Nouvelle-Hollande et le cap Horn” (New Holland [Australia] and Cape Horn [Chile]) in January of 1820 around 49?S. Drawings of lateral and dorsal views are given, along with a description of the external appearance: “…d’autres dauphins ayant de chaque côté du corps, dans presque toute sa longueur, deux larges lignes blanches, coupées à angle droit par une noire; ce qui, vu par le dos, formoit une croix noire sur un fond blanc” (translated as: dolphins with two broad white lines on each side of the body that seemed to make a black cross on a white background when seen from above). No specimens of these dolphins were taken on this voyage. A specimen was collected by d’Orbigny and Gervais (1847:32, Plate 21 Figures 1–4) between 57?S and 76?S29 (southeast of Cape Horn). Note that in d’Orbigny and Gervais (1847) the plate number is incorrectly written as “XXIII.” The skull was deposited in the “Muséum d’histoire naturelle” in Paris, and according to Goodall et al. (1997a) the skull was subsequently “labeled D. bivittatus (see photograph in Robineau, 1990) and given the number A.3045.” d’Orbigny and Gervais (1847) synonymized their specimen with D. cruciger Quoy and Gaimard, 1824, D. bivittatus Lesson in Lesson and Garnot, 1827, and both D. cruciger and D. bivittatus “livitatus” of Cuvier (1836).
