FAMILY Ziphiidae
Author: | Gray, 1865. | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1865: 528. | Comments: | Although Hyperoodontidae Gray, 1846 has priority over Ziphiidae, we have chosen to use the latter name following Article 23.12 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999) because Ziphiidae has been the name of choice for more than 100 years. Family reviewed by Moore (1968). |
