Introduction
Harrison and Senou (1999) do not record Liza tade from the region. Possibly they consider the Pacific form to be Liza planiceps, although they use the common name of tade mullet for this species. They suggested that Australian records might be based on misidentifications of other species. They also treat Liza tade (Forsskål, 1775) as a synonym of L. planiceps (Valenciennes 1836) but give no explanation why the more recent name should take precedence. They may have thought Liza tade (Forsskål, 1775) to be an uncertain or unavailable name, but we follow prevailing usage. Kottelat (2013) regarded Forsskål (1775) usage as vernacular, but with the name becoming available from Bloch & Schneider (1801). Whitley (1964) attributed authorship to Gmelin (1789). Larson et al. (2013) suggested that records of Liza tade were misidentifications of Liza ordensis, however, material has been identified as Liza tade from northern Australia by Ghasemzadeh.
