Mesoplodon carlhubbsiMoore, 1963

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

Reviewed by J. G. Mead (1989c). Very closely related to bowdoini. Orr believed that this species was synonymous with M. stejnegeri (see Mead et al., 1982). Hubbs (1946) first identified the holotype of this species as M. bowdoini.
