Balaena antipodarum, Tomilin (not Gray), 1957, Animals of eastern 

 Europe and northern Asia, 9: 130 [name erroneously attributed to 

 Fischer 1829, evidently a lapsus for antiquorum Fischer, 1829]. 



Dubertus rhodinsulensis Tomilin, 1957, Animals of eastern Europe and 

 northern Asia, 9: 131 [cited in synonymy of Balaenoptera physalus as a 

 nomen nudum attributed to Trumbull in Goode, 1884, Fisheries 

 and fishing industries U.S., 1(1): 29, wherein the name "Dubertus" 

 of Rhode Island is shown to be a corrupted form of the variants 

 "jubartas," "gubartus," "gibbar," "jubar," etc., all vernacular names 

 applied to baleen whales but usually to the humpback or fin whale]. 



Type: None in existence; name based primarily on the "finfish" of 

 Martens (1675, Spitzbergische oder Gronlandische Reise Beschreibung 

 gethan im Jahr 1671, p. 125, pi. Q, fig. c). 



Type locality: "Oceano Europaeo," specifically the Spitzbergen Sea. 



Distribution: Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans from equatorial 

 waters to pack ice in northern and southern hemispheres ; in South American 

 waters from the Caribbean (Panama), Baia, Brazil (12° S.), to Tierra del 

 Fuego and the Falklands in the Atlantic, and from Ecuador in the Pacific 

 southward to pack ice (75° S.). 



Remarks : The earliest available name for the fin whale of the southern 

 hemisphere, should it prove to be distinct from the northern, is Balaeno- 

 ptera physalus quoyi Fischer, 1829.
