The long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) is a large species of oceanic dolphin. It shares the genus Globicephala with the short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus). Long-finned pilot whales are known as such because of their unusually long pectoral fins. This species was first classified in 1809 by Thomas Stewart Traill and given the name Delphinus melas. However, this scientific name was changed later to Globicephala melaena. Then in 1986, the specific name for this species was reverted to its original form melas. Order: Artiodactyla, Infraorder: Cetacea, Family: Delphinidae, Genus: Globicephala, Species: Globicephala melas (Traill, 1809), Synonyms: Globicephala melaena.
