Balaenula - Wikipedia
Balaenula is an extinct genus of baleen whale species which lived during the Pliocene epoch of Europe and possibly North America. [3] [4] Balaenula is a small whale measuring within the range of 6–8 metres (20–26 ft) in length.

2020年4月22日 · Abstract. The family Balaenidae includes two genus and four extant species. Extinct balaenids are known for at least four genus and 10 species. The oldest known record of members of the Balaenidae is known from the early Miocene, but still need more early members of the family to provide better phylogenetic hypotheses.

The systematics of right whales (Mysticeti: Balaenidae)
2012年7月1日 · Balaenidae (right whales) are large, critically endangered baleen whales represented by four living species. The evolutionary relationships of balaenids are poorly known, with the number of genera,...
Balaenids are an ancient lineage of baleen whales (Mysticeti), which today only survives in the form of two genera: Balaena, or bowhead whales; and three species of Eubalaena, which—like the family itself—are commonly referred to as right whales.
The systematics of right whales (Mysticeti: Balaenidae)
A cladistic treatment of 81 morphological character states scored for 10 balaenids and nine non-balaenid cetaceans revealed that the other small balaenids generally included in the genus Balaenula (including Balaenula astensis, B. balaenopsis and a Pliocene Balaenula sp. from Japan) are closer to the living genus Eubalaena (the Right whale).
New Pliocene right whale from Belgium informs balaenid phylogeny and ...
Here, we describe a new stem balaenid, Antwerpibalaena liberatlas, from northern Belgium, adding to the rich but historically problematic baleen whale assemblage of the Pliocene North Sea. Within right whales, Antwerpibalaena forms a clade with two previously described extinct genera, Balaenella and Balaenula.
The systematics of right whales (Mysticeti: Balaenidae)
Balaenidae (right whales) are large, critically endangered baleen whales represented by four living species. The evolutionary relationships of balaenids are poorly known, with the number of genera, relationships to fossil taxa, and position within Mysticeti in contention.

2020年4月22日 · FCCP 1049 from the lower part of the Chippubetsu Formation, Fukagawa Group (3.5–5.2 Ma, Zanclean, early Pliocene) was preliminary described and identified as Balaenula sp. by Furusawa and Kimura in 1982. Later works discussed that FCCP 1049 is different from the genus, and is placed in different clade from Balaenula astensis.
