It seems there is no general consensus about the exact definition of "Jovian planets." Depending on the definition used, Neptune is, or is not, a "Jovian planet"; as explained on Wikipedia: "Giant planets are also sometimes called jovian planets, after Jupiter. They are also sometimes known as gas giants. However, many astronomers apply the latter term only to Jupiter and Saturn, classifying Uranus and Neptune, which have different compositions, as ice giants. ..."

What planet is not a dwarf planet?
Apparently in the solar system, there's only one dwarf planet which is Pluto. The remaining 8 planets are not dwarf planets and can be divided into Terrestrial planets and jovian planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth and mars are all terrestrial planets while Jupiter, Saturn and uranus are known as Jovian planets. The term Jovian derives from Jupiter.
