—Abstrs.: Bull. Acad. Sci. St.-Pétersbourg (3)17: 401-408, 1872?; Zs. Natw. 44: 39-52, 1874? Sirs., 366, etc.? This work also contains the first adequate description (166-188, pls. 14-18) of the fossil odontocete cetacean genus Pachyacanthus and its included species, whose names Brandt had previously employed as nomina nuda since 1871. The genus has been revised by E. Kazár (Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, Serie A, 112: 537-567, June 2010), who recognizes only the species P. suessii as valid, and places it in the Platanistoidea and tentatively in the Platanistidae. It is known only from the Sarmatian (Middle Miocene) of the Central and Eastern Paratethys region.
