. "*Leiobalaena Eschricht, 1849" . . . "Balaena is a genus of cetacean (whale) in the family Balaenidae. Balaena is considered a monotypic species, as it has only a single extant species, the bowhead whale (B . mysticetus). It was first described in 1758 by Linnaeus, who at the time considered all of the right whales (and the bowhead) as a single species. Historically, both the Balaenidae family and Balaena genus were known by the common name, \"right whales\", however Balaena are now known as bowhead whales."@en . . "*Balena Scopoli, 1777" . . . . .
