What is the genus and species of dolphin?

The term "dolphin" refers to a family of marine mammals, not a single genus or species.

The family is called Delphinidae.

Within this family, there are about 40 different species of dolphins. Some common examples include:

* Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis)

* Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)

* Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis)

* Killer whale (Orcinus orca) (although often called a whale, it's actually a dolphin!)

So, to specify the genus and species, you would need to name a specific type of dolphin, like "the genus and species of the common dolphin is *Delphinus delphis*."
