The Plagiuri is an early (now disused) biological subclassification of fish (for example in early editions of Linnaeus's Systema Naturae). It included those animals then classed as fish whose tails' flat surfaces faced anatomically up and down and not sideways. Its members have now been shown to be mammals (including the whales).
