The common name for species in this genus is the "spotted dolphins" or the "bridled dolphins".[1][2] They are found in temperate and tropical seas all around the world.[1][2] Individuals of several species begin their lives spotless and become steadily more covered in darker spots as they get older.[1][2] The genus name comes from the Greek stenos meaning narrow.[1][2] It was coined by John Gray in 1866 when he intended it as a subgenus of Steno.[1] Modern taxonomists recognise two genera.[1][2] The clymene dolphin (S. clymene) is the only confirmed case of hybrid speciation in marine mammals, descending from the spinner dolphin (S. longirostris) and the striped dolphin (S. coeruleoalba).[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite book|title= Whales of the World|last= Tinker |first= Spencer Wilkie|year= 1988 |publisher= Brill Archive|isbn= 9780935848472 |page= 310|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=ASIVAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA137&dq=%22Stenella%22}} {{Wikispecies}}{{Cetacea|O.}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q594051}}{{whale-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite book|title= Dolphins, Porpoises and Whales of the World|last= Klinowska |first= Margaret|author2=Justin Cooke |year= 1991 |publisher= IUCN|isbn= 9782880329365 |page= 429|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QynOriR1MxEC&dq=%22Stenella%22&cad=0 }} 3. ^{{cite book|title= Walker's Marine Mammals of the World|last= Walker |first= Ernest Pillsbury|author2=Ronald M.
