Inia Korowale
''Inia'' is a genus of river dolphins from South America containing one to four species. Taxonomy The genus was described by Alcide d'Orbigny in 1834 when ''Delphinus geoffrensis'', described by Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1817, was recognized to be a unique taxon. A 1998 classification listed a single species, ''Inia geoffrensis'', in the genus ''Inia'', with three recognized subspecies. Most of the scientific community accepted this single species classification, as does the IUCN. As of 2016 the Committee on Taxonomy of the Society for Marine Mammalogy considers the genus ''Inia'' to contain one species with only two subspecies: the Bolivian (''I. g. boliviensis'') and the Amazon (''I. g. geoffrensis)'' subspecies. In 2014, the population in the Araguaia- Tocantins basin was proposed to define an additional species, ''Inia araguaiaensis'', but this remains debated. The American Society of Mammalogists recognizes the highest number of species at four, although ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
