Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Bisconti 2014 | A Cetotheriidae s.s. that differs from Cetotherium rathkii because it is larger and more robust, moreover, it has a squamosal cleft, the anterior end of its parietal is located more anteriorly than the posteromedial ends of the maxillae. H. nigra differs from Metopocetus
durinasus because the posterior ends of the ascending pro- cesses of its maxillae are rounded and not pointed; from Piscobalaena nana because it shows a squamosal cleft and it is much larger and robust; from Mixocetus elysius because the premaxilla is excluded from being exposed in dorsal view on the lateral side of the nasal; from Nannoce- tus eremus because it is much larger and the posterior wall of its temporal fossa is more transversely oriented than in N. eremus; from Herpetocetus because it is much larger and robust and has a squamosal cleft; from ‘Cetotherium’ megalophysum because it has more rounded anterior border of the supraoccipital, externally convex border of the supraoccipital, posterior end of the premaxilla located more anteriorly, lateral border of the nasal in contact with maxilla and not with premaxilla. |
