Abstract
The Guadalupe (Arctocephalus townsendi), Juan Fernández (A. philippii), and Galapagos fur seals (A. galapagoensis) are three closely related species within the Family Otariidae. Their taxonomic status is currently an issue of debate; a new Genus Arctophoca has been suggested, but they are currently all classified as being Arctocephalus. Galapagos fur seal’s taxonomic position is also somewhat open as to whether it is an independent species or a subspecies of the South American fur seal (A. australis).
