Los misticetos (Mysticeti ), conocidos comúnmente como cetáceos barbados, son un suborden del orden Cetacea. Se caracterizan por la presencia de las barbas en lugar de dientes, como ocurre en el otro suborden de cetáceos, los odontocetos. [...] El término ballena a menudo es usado para referirse a todos los misticetos, aunque en sentido estricto se reserva solamente a los integrantes de la familia balénidos; para el resto de los misticetos se utiliza el término rorcual. 2, record 1, Spanish, - misticetos
