Comment:
Rice (1998:85) used Ziphiidae Gray "1850" [1865!] over Hyperoodontidae Gray 1846 "in anticipation of" an ICZN petition & ruling. As of late 2008 the required application has not been submitted (see ICZN 1999 [4th] Edition Art. 23.9.1, 23.9.3, 23.12, 1985 [3rd] & 1961 [1st] Edition Art. 23b). Hyperoodontiidae is also used in works Rice didn't note (e.g., McKenna & Bell 1997). Mead (email 28-Oct-2008) advises to follow McKenna & Bell on this
Comment:
As of 2019, there has as yet not been an ICZN petition and ruling to conserve Ziphiidae Gray "1850" [1865!] over Hyperoodontidae Gray, 1846; so while the Society for Marine Mammalogy Committee on Taxonomy (2018) and Würsig, Thewissen and Kovacs (2018) use Ziphiidae, ITIS continues to use Hyperoodontidae
