Taxonomy
Odontoceti was named by Flower (1867). It is extant. It was considered monophyletic by Uhen (2008) and Lambert et al. (2010).

It was corrected as Odontocete by Scott (1873) and Hay (1902); it was reranked as the unranked clade Odontoceti by Gregory (1910), Winge (1921), Van Deinse (1931), McKenna and Bell (1997), Hulbert and Whitmore (2006), Bianucci and Landini (2007), Pyenson and Hoch (2007), Agnarsson and May-Collado (2008), Uhen (2008), Rice (2009), Canto et al.
