Etymology.
The genus is named after Supay, the Incan god of death, and "ketos" Greek for whale.
Description.
"Supayacetus" is known from the holotype MUSM 1465, a partial skeleton. As "Ocucajea", it was collected in the Archaeocete Valley site, from the Paracas Formation of the Pisco Basin about . It was named by and the type species "S. muizoni" honours palaeontologist Christian de Muizon who has contributed considerably to Peruvian palaeontology.
Distinguishing characters of "Supayacetus" include: a T-shaped manubrium with a rod-shaped process; cheek teeth with accessory denticles; a broad scapula with a large infraspinous fossa; humerus with large and hemispherical head, well-defined proximal tuberosities, a long deltopectoral crest, and a broad shaft. Compared to other basilosaurids, "Supayacetus" is larger than "Protocetus" but its skull and vertebrae are smaller than in other basilosaurids.
