Type Species: Balaenoptera robusta Lilljeborg 1861
Synonyms: Cyphonotus Rafinesque 1815 ; Cyphonotus Gray 1850 ; Rhachianectes Cope 1869 .
Species and subspecies: 1 species:
Species Eschrichtius robustus (Lilljeborg 1860)
Discussion: The type species of Agaphelus Cope, 1868 is Balaena gibbosa Erxleben, 1777 , which is a composite species consisting mainly of junior synonyms of Megaptera novaeangliae . Agaphelus has been linked to Eschrichtius by the supposed inclusion of the "scrag whale of Dudley " in its synonymy. The "scrag whale of Dudley "is actually listed as " Species obscurae " just following the section on Agaphelus in Erxleben (p. 611).
