Taxonomic remark Originally listed in Cetacea, and included thus in McKenna & Bell, 1997 (in infraorder Autoceta), however re-identified as a stingray spine by Purdy & Uhen, 2008, who state: Examination of the holotype leads us to concur with Fordyce and de Muizon (2001) that Agabelus porcatus and the genus Agabelus itself should both be considered nomina dubia. We can further clarify that the holotype of Agableus porcatus, is not a fragment of cetacean rostrum, but rather is the bony portion of a stingray spine. [details]
