Sulakocetus is an extinct genus of toothed whale. It was first described by G.A. Mchedlidze in 1976 with the type species S. dagestanicus.[1] Initially classified as part of family Waipatiidae,[2] further research has called its taxonomic placement into question. A review in 1990 indicated that it should be excluded from the superfamily Platanistoidea.[3] A further assessment in 2016 stated that it should not be classified with the Waipatiidae, and left its status for further review, essentially rendering it incertae sedis.[4]
