The long-beaked common dolphin is a member of common dolphin genus, "Delphinus" within the dolphin family, Delphinidae in the cetaceans order. Until the mid-1990s, the different forms within "Delphinus" were not recognized as separate species, but were all considered members of the species "D. delphis".
