- Status – IUCN status categories of threat. (Ex-Extinct; E-Endangered; V-Vulnerable; R-Rare: I-Intermediate; K-Insufficiently Known; as defined in Klinowska, 1991)
- Flores ID – As reported by Rudolph et al. (1997).
- Cetacean species sighted during the TNC cetacean surveys for which no positive identification could be made. The two Kogia spp, as well as the two Delphinus spp, have similar appearances, distribution and behaviours and are difficult to distinguish at sea under most circumstances. These species are, however, very distinct from all other cetaceans are therefore included in the cetacean species list.
- Additional cetacean species positively identified by Rudolph et al. (1997) in Komodo waters. Details on all publications can be found in References.
