This exquisitely preserved specimen is assigned to a new genus and species, <b><em>Miocaperea pulchra</em> gen. et sp. nov.</b>, and differs from <em>Caperea marginata</em> Gray, 1846, the only living taxon currently assigned to Neobalaenidae, in details of the temporal fossa and basicranium. A thorough comparative analysis of the skeleton of <b><em>M. pulchra</em> gen. et sp. nov.</b> and <em>C. marginata</em> is also provided, and forms the basis of an extensive osteology-based phylogenetic analysis, confirming the placement of <b><em>M. pulchra</em> gen. et sp. nov.</b> within Neobalaenidae as well as the monophyly of Neobalaenidae and Balaenidae; the phylogenetic results support the validity of the superfamily Balaenoidea. No relationship with Balaenopteroidea was found by the present study, and thus the balaenopterid-like morphological features observed in <em>C. marginata</em> must have resulted from parallel evolution. The presence of <b><em>M. pulchra</em> gen. et sp. nov.</b> around 2000 km north from the northernmost sightings of <em>C. marginata</em> suggests that different ecological conditions were able to support pygmy right whale populations in what is now Peru, and that subsequent environmental change caused a southern shift in the distribution of the living neobalaenid whales.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Comparative osteology and phylogenetic relationships of <i>Miocaperea pulchra</i>, the first fossil pygmy right whale genus and species (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Neobalaenidae)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-11 01:31:47.317012","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Balaenoidea; Caperea marginata; Miocene; Peru; phylogeny","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2012,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-06-25","DateCreate":"2013-01-18","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000311608400009","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1111/j.1096-3642.2012.00862.x"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":222052,"PubliDate":2012,"Pagination":"876-911","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"166","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":45039,"SerRR":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society.
