 CMS: Cephalorhynchus eutropia, Chilean dolphin
Although it is mostly allopatric with Commerson's dolphin, Cephalorhynchus commersonii, the ranges of the two species may overlap slightly in the Strait of Magellan and Beagle Channel, on the border with Argentina (Goodall, 1994)
Cephalorhynchus eutropia has been called a rare dolphin, but perhaps it has been seldom seen because of the lack of boat traffic and of trained observers in the channels, and because of its shy, evasive behaviour.
Cephalorhynchus eutropia is included in Appendix II of the CMS (see "links"): the range of this species may extend beyond the Chilean border into Argentinean waters in the Beagle channel and at the entrance of the Strait of Magellan near Cabo Virgenes and Cabo Espiritu Santo.

Abundance, residency, and habitat utilisation of Hector's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand
Theodolite tracking and boat-based photo-identification surveys were carried out in the austral summers of 1995-96 and 1996-97 to assess abundance, residency, and habitat utilisation of Hector’s dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, on the south-east corner of the South Island of New Zealand.
Data are consistent with the model of a small resident population that is visited occasionally by members of neighbouring populations.

Cephalorhynchus is taken deliberately off the coast of South America and is subject to accidental killing by fishermen and crabbers throughout its range; the genus is considered to be especially vulnerable to coastal purse seining.
Heaviside's dolphins have been found across a wide range of surface temperatures, but most sightings have been in water from 9 to 15 degrees Celsius.

 Cephalorhynchus Dolphins
The generic name, Cephalorhynchus, is from the Greek kephale, which means "head", and rhunkhos, which means "snout".
This refers to the gradual slope from the head to the snout, which lacks a defined melon and beak.
Fortunately, the threats of fishermen have been recognized and no members of this genus are in immediate threat of extinction.

 Chilean Dolphin (Cephalorhynchus eutropia) | yaqu pacha
The Chilean dolphin - or in scientific gargle Cephalorhynchus eutropia - is truely indigenous to Chile where it inhabits coastal waters.
It is poorly known, from a limited number of strandings and observations in the sea.
The Chilean dolphin is poorly known which is partly due to its elusive behaviour and its remote and difficult to access distribution area in southern Chile.

 Genus Cephalorhynchus
Each of the four species in the genus Cephalorhynchus is found in the Southern Hemisphere.
The fl dolphin is the least known of the genus Cephalorhynchus, with almost nothing known about the biology or natural history, no records of specimens held in captivity, and almost no formal studies of the species.
It appears to be mostly typical of the genus, consuming similar prey, making similar vocalizations, and having the same inherent wariness, which helps to result in its obscurity.

However the support for the phylogeny of this group was not strong due to a limited number of substitutions in both genes, and there was no attempt to estimate times of divergence.
One of the aims of this project is to investigate the validity of the sister taxa Lagenorhynchus and attempt to date the origin and radiation of the Cephalorhynchus.
