Usage notes
The taxonomic name from which this comes has been variously spelled "Rhinodon", "Rhincodon", "Rhineodon" and "Rhiniodon" (The author of the original publication apparently intended it to be "Rhineodon", but it was printed as "Rhincodon" in the actual publication). "Rhincodon" was officially chosen as the correct name in 1984 to end the confusion, but "rhinodon" seems to be the most common variant as a word in English.
