Mauicetus
''Mauicetus'' is a genus of extinct baleen whale from the Late Oligocene of New Zealand. ==Taxonomy== ''Mauicetus'' was originally named ''Lophocephalus'' by William Benham, but that name was already used for a beetle, and Benham provided the replacement name ''Mauicetus.''〔W. B. Benham. 1937. On Lophocephalus, a new genus of zeuglodont Cetacea. Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New Zealand 67(1):1-7〕〔W. B. Benham. 1939. Mauicetus: a Fossil Whale. Nature 143(3627):765〕 Three more species were named in 1956: ''M. brevicollis'', ''M. lophocephalus'', and ''M. waitakiensis''.〔B. J. Marples. 1956. Cetotheres (Cetacea) from the Oligocene of New Zealand. Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 126(4):565-580〕 Nowadays, ''Mauicetus parki'' is considered a stem-balaenopteroid, while ''M. lophocephalus'' and ''M. waitakiensis'' have been reclassified in Eomysticetidae, with ''M. lophocephalus'' and ''M. waitakiensis'' being assigned to ''Tokarahia'' and ''Tohoraata''.〔Robert W.
