The Andrewsiphiinae is an extinct subfamily of early whales of the family Remingtonocetidae. Thiewessen & Bajpai (2009)[1] proposed the clade when Andrewsiphius and Kuchicetus were accepted as separate genera.[2] Kuchicetus was originally synonymized with Andrewsiphius in 2001 by Gingerich et al.,[3] but later authors, however, still accept both as separate genera.[2]
