The genus Pepinocephalia and Peponocephalia AND Peponocephala are propably all the same. However only one is correct. Google suggest the last when I searched for "Peponocephalia". Anyone who knows ???

Our "authorative" taxonomical listing is at cetacea, which is taken from Rice (1998) which is the standard in the field. That only mentions Peponocephala. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 12:45, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
As does Lyall Watson's 1981 Sea Guide to Whales of the World (ISBN 0-09146-60-08). Other terms are likely mistakes rather than alternatives. Anjouli 12:56, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
