Morphological characters used in the phylogenetic analysis.

Terminology generally follows that of the cladistic papers cited, which in a few cases does not agree with the recommended uses of Mead and Fordyce (2009). For each character, references are given for the main past uses, with the relevant published character number given with a hatch # thus: Murakami et al. (2012a) #1.

APPENDIX 4.

List of modifications to the original codings and character descriptioons of Tanaka and Fordyce (2015). The changed codings were originally coded by Murakami (2012b). The initial number refers to the character number in Appendix 3. Character numbers are identified in parentheses.

Haborophocoena toyoshimai ? to 0

(46) Temporal fossa shape in lateral view: height lower than anteroposterior length (0); higher (1); lower and its posterior end is rounded (2).
Haborophocoena minutus ? to 0
Haborophocoena toyoshiimai 0 to 1

(56) Postglenoid process in lateral view: tapering ventrally (0); squared off ventrally (1); same as state 1 except very wide anteroposterior diameter of process (2).
Haborophocoena toyoshimai 0 to 1

(84) Posterior process of periotic in lateral view: ventrally bent (0); in same plane as body of periotic (1).
Haborodelphis toyoshimai 0 to 1
Miophocaena nishinoi ? to 0
Semirostrum ceruttii 1 to 0
