Retrieved July 2013.〕〔. Retrieved July 2013.〕 It is closely related to ''Andrewsiphius'' with which it was synonymized by . proposed a new clade, Andrewsiphiinae, for the two species Later authors,〔E.g., 〕 however, still accept both as separate genera. ''Kutchicetus'' is smaller than other remingtonocetids, and probably is the smallest Eocene cetacean. With its extremely narrow snout, it resembles ''Remingtonocetus'' and ''Dalanistes'', but its strong tail distinguishes it from both ''Remingtonocetus'' and ''Andrewsiphius''. Its limbs were short.
