Abstract
Day (1876) rightly used the name Corvina albida Cuvier for a species with a pair of one on either side of the median pore of the lower jaw, and Dendrophysa hooghliensis Sinha & Rao (1969) is a synonym of it. Following Talwar (1970c), it may be known as Daysciaena albida. Reports of ‘Pseudosciaenu’ albida or Nibea cuibor from the western Pacific are of this species, but at least some refer to a Nibea, here renamed Nibea chui. The genus is redefined to exclude species without a cephalic extension to the swim‐bladder and a generic name is proposed for ‘Nibea’ diacanthus (Lacépède). A key to the species of is given.
