Initially described by Gray like a species with whole share, the dolphin common to long nozzle was then compared to a subspecies of the common Dauphin ( Delphinus delphis capensis ) because of the strong morphological resemblance between the two animals. A study DNA carried out in 1995 made it possible to differentiate it from the dolphin common to short nozzle.
