Waipatia
''Waipatia'' is an extinct genus of whale from the late Oligocene (Chattian) of New Zealand.
==Taxonomy==
The type species, ''Waipatia maerewhenua'' is known from a single skull found near 45° South in Otago .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Waipatia maerewhenua'' — a small archaic dolphin from the Oligocene of New Zealand )〕 The second species, ''W. hectori'', was originally named ''Microcetus hectori'' in 1935, but later recognized as distinct from ''Microcetus''.〔W. B. Benham. 1935. The teeth of an extinct whale, Microcetus hectori n. sp. Transactions of the Royal Society of New Zealand 65:239-243〕〔K. Rothausen. 1961. Ueber Microcetus, einen kleinen Squalodontiden aus dem Oberoligozaen. Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie, Abhandlungen 112(1):106-116〕 ''"Uncamentodon"'' was informally coined for ''M. hectori'' in a table by Rothausen in a 1970 paper, but the lack of a diagnosis or description made it a nomen nudum. Finally in 2015, ''M. hectori'' was recognized as a second species of ''Waipatia'' based on preparation of additional material included in the holotype.〔Y. Tanaka and R. E. Fordyce. 2015. Historically significant late Oligocene dolphin Microcetus hectori Benham 1935: a new species of Waipatia (Platanistoidea). Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand.〕
