Tasmacetus shepherdi — Shepherd's Beaked Whale, Tasman Beaked Whale
Although the geographic range of this species is not clearly known, Tasmacetus shepherdi (Shepherd's beaked whale, Tasman whale) probably has a circumpolar distribution in temperate waters of the southern hemisphere. All known specimens have been found on beaches in New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, Chile, and the Galapagos Islands (Evans 1987, Tinker 1988). Length 6-7 m

Omura dvergbrydehval, Balaenoptera omurai
I november 2003 ble det oppdaget en ny finnhvalart, som inntil videre har fått det vitenskapelige navnet Balaenoptera omurai (etter den japanske forskern Omura som oppdaget den). Denne arten er mindre enn de tradisjonelle finnhvalene, som den ellers ligner på. Tidligere har man trodd at dette var en hval som ikke var fullt utvokst, men etter funn gjort i indo-stillehavsområdet slo forskerne fast at det var snakk om en ny og mindre art, som ennå ikke har fått et tradisjonelt navn.

DNA-studier viser at Omuras dvergbrydehval, dvergbrydehval og brydehval er individuelt nærmere beslektet med seihval enn de er med hverandre. Den samme analysen viser også at Balaenoptera omurai kanskje må klassifiseres som en egen art, i det denne hvalen skiller seg på vesentlige punkter fra de to andre brydene, blant annet gjennom distinkte forskjeller i både DNA-profilen og morfologi. Omuras dvergbrydehval viser blant annet forskjell i kraniets struktur og (kanskje spesielt) den har færre bardeplater.


Flere forskere har i senere tid advart sterkt mot å inndele dyr i flere arter enn strengt talt nødvendig, slik tendensen har vært de siste årene. Dette ar bakgrunn i at moderne teknologi i større grad finner forskjeller som gjør det mulig å dele dyr inn i flere arter enn tidligere, men det hersker stor uenighet omkring hvor grensene for artsdannelse skal trekkes.
