Classis : Mammalia 
Ordo : Artiodactyla 
Infraordo : Cetacea 
Parvordo : Mysticeti 

Mysticeti sunt parvordo mammalium marinorum infraordinis Cetaceorum, late distributus variusque carnivororum grex. Familias Balaenidarum, Balaenopteridarum, Cetotheriidarum, et Eschrichtiidarum comprehendunt. Sunt quindecim Mysticetorum species vivae. Mysticeti ab odontocetis abhinc annorum 34 milliones fere deflexerunt.

Lamina balaenarum adiunctarum in capillis decrescunt.

Magnitudine variant a 6 metra et 3000 kg ponderis (Caperea marginata) ad 31 metra et 190 megatonnae ponderis (Balaenoptera musculus), maximum animal notum quod umquam existit.[1][2]

TaxinomiaRecensere

Mysticeti in quattuor familiis exstantibus consistunt, quae sunt Balaenidae, Balaenopteridae, Cetotheriidae, Eschrichtiidae.
