Description
Subfamily HYPEROODONTINAE Gray, 1866
TYPE GENUS. — Hyperoodon Lacépède, 1804.
OTHER GENERA INCLUDED. — Indopacetus Moore, 1968, Mesoplodon Gervais, 1850, Ihlengesi n. gen., Africanacetus n. gen., and Khoikhoicetus n. gen.
EMENDED DIAGNOSIS. — Hyperoodontinae differ from all the other Ziphiidae in the deep anteromedian excavation of the nasals.
DISCUSSION
Hyperoodontinae as defined here follows the content of the subfamily suggested by Muizon (1991); they correspond neither to the tribe Hyperoodontini sensu Moore 1968, including Hyperoodon, Indopacetus, Mesoplodon, and Tasmacetus nor to the subtribe Hyperoodontina sensu Moore 1968, only including Hyperoodon and Mesoplodon.
