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.
