Pomatodelphis

Pomatodelphis is an extinct genus of river dolphin from Middle Miocene marine deposits in Alabama, Florida, Brazil, Germany and France.

[1] Pomatodelphis may be a typo for potamodelphis ("river dolphin")[2] from potamo-, "river", and δελφίς, delphis "dolphin".

Pomatodelphis belongs to the platanistid subfamily Pomatodelphininae, which is distinguished from the South Asian river dolphin in having a flattened rostrum, a transversely expanded posterior end of the premaxilla, an eye and bony orbit of normal size (not atrophied), and nasal bones not reduced in size but wide transversely.

A close relative of Pomatodelphis is Prepomatodelphis from marine deposits in Austria.
