Adicetus is an extinct genus of baleen whale from the Miocene of Almada, Portugal. The type species, A. vandelli, was originally named by Pierre-Joseph Van Beneden and Paul Gervais in 1871 and assigned to the genus Cetotherium.[1] The second species belonging to the genus, A. latus, was named by Kellogg in 1941 as Aulocetus latus.[2] Following a redescription of the material in 2024, the species were assigned to the newly coined genus Adicetus by Rodrigo Figueiredo and colleagues.[3] A. vandelli and A. latus are both known from a single skull, both of which were found during a gold expedition at Adiça beach, and first described by Alexandre Vandelli in 1831, although he did not establish any new species for the material.[4]
