Type species:
Gerres vaigiensis Quoy & Gaimard, 1824 by subsequent designation, see Jordan, D.S. 1917. The genera of fishes. Part 1. Stanford University Publications, University Series 27: 1-151 [117].
Introduction
Woodland (2001) recorded Gerres kapas from the North West Shelf, WA to Darwin, NT. Iwatsuki et al. regarded that species as a synonym of Gerres oyena, based on non-type Bleeker material, but did not examine material identified as that from Australia. The identity of material called Gerres kapas from Australia (Woodland 2001; Larson et al. 1997) is unclear. That species was called Cotton Silverbiddy or Singapore Silver-biddy, with the CAAB number 37349020. The genus is clearly in need of further study in Australia.
