Later, Plisnier-Ladame & Quinet (1969) added a neurocranium and other skeletal remains from the same area to this species. Recently, the neurocranium was re-assigned to the genus <i>Eubalaena</i> thanks to newer phylogenetic analyses. Here, a new description is provided of materials previously assigned to “<i>Balaena</i>” <i>belgica</i> together with taxonomic revisions. Our work suggests that the cervical complex originally designated as the type of “<i>Balaena</i>” <i>belgica</i> is too poorly preserved to be used as such and is assigned to Balaenidae gen. et sp. indet., thus making “<i>Balaena</i>” <i>belgica</i> a nomen dubium. In addition to the neurocranium, the other remains consist in a fragment of maxilla assigned to Balaenidae gen. et sp. indet. and in a humerus assigned to <i>Eubalaena</i> sp. Discovered in the Kruisschans Sands Member of the Lillo Formation (3.2–2.8 Ma, Piacenzian, Late Pliocene), the neurocranium is designated as the holotype of the new species <i>Eubalaena ianitrix</i>. Our phylogenetic analysis supports a sister-group relationship of <i>Eubalaena ianitrix</i> and <i>Eubalaena glacialis</i>, and helps constraining the ages of origin for balaenid clades. Ecological and phylogenetic data suggest that <i>Eubalaena ianitrix</i> may represent the direct ancestor of <i>Eubalaena glacialis</i>, the latter having evolved through phyletic transformation including body size increase during the temperature decline of the Late Pliocene.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Revision of <i>\"Balaena\" belgica</i> reveals a new right whale species, the possible ancestry of the northern right whale, <i>Eubalaena glacialis</i>, and the ages of divergence for the living right whale species","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Cetacea; Balaenidae; Eubalaena ianitrix; Mysticeti; Phylogeny; Pliocene","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2017,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-03-14","DateCreate":"2018-03-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000405241400002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.7717/peerj.3464"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":293704,"PubliDate":2017,"Pagination":"e3464","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"5","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":242055,"SerRR":"PeerJ.
