''Brygmophyseter'' is an extinct genus of toothed whale in the sperm whale family with one species ''Brygmophyseter shigensis''. When first described, this species was placed in an extinct form genus ''Scaldicetus'' of toothed whale, as ''Scaldicetus shigensis''.〔 In 2006, two new genus names were independently created for the species: ''Naganocetus'' and ''Brygmophyseter''. Since ''Brygmophyseter'' was published first, ''Naganocetus'' becomes a junior synonym.〔〕 ==Etymology== The genus name is a combination of the Greek word ''brygmos'', which means "biting" or "gnashing", combined with suffix ''Physeter'', which is the generic name of the living sperm whale, and which is also the Greek word for "blower".〔 This has led to the occasional vernacular term "biting sperm whale" being given to the species in popular culture.
