Abstract

Seven species of mesoplodont whales (genus Mesoplodon Gervais, 1850) named after the nineteenth century are based on valid descriptions. A checklist listing the original description and type material for each of these species is provided. Additional data given include type locality and illustrative sources, type material holding institution and type registration number. External morphology was recorded for all type specimens except Andrews' Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon bowdoini) and the Pygmy Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon peruvianus).
