 Comments
       
  Comment: See Arnold & Heinsohn (1996:204, Appendix 5) for the chronology of nomenclature & appropriate authorship attribution. First available use was in Gray (March 1866, quoting extensively from, and attributed to Owen's then-unpublished work that was published later the same year on August 15 1866), and the valid combination given there was "Orca brevirostris"
