Once considered one of the many variations of long-snouted spinner dolphins, the clymene was officially classified as a separate species in 1981. The ranges of two species overlap in the Atlantic and are difficult to tell apart. The clymene is slightly more robust, the dorsal fin is less triangular, and the beak is a little shorter. These dolphins are believed to be nocturnal feeders.
