Indopacetus pacificus (Longman 1926)

[Mesoplodon] pacificus Longman 1926 , Mem. Queensl. Mus., 8 (3): 269.

Type Locality: Australia, Queensland, "found at Mackay".

Vernacular Names: Tropical Bottlenose Whale.

Distribution: Indian Ocean and W South Pacific: tropical waters.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Data Deficient.

Discussion: Reviewed by J. G. Mead (1989 c). Commonly included in Mesoplodon ( Heyning, 1989 a; J. G. Mead, 1989 c). We prefer ‘tropical bottlenose whale’, as used by Pitman et al. (1999), to the older name ‘Longman’s beaked whale’.
