reipublicae, Lactophrys Ogilby [J. D.] 1913:92 [Memoirs of the Queensland Museum v. 2; ref. 14966] Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Lectotype (?): QM I.1064. Allen et al. 2006:1908 [ref. 29090] treat Ogilby's account as a nomen nudum; they date the species to Whitley 1930. They indicate that Whitley 1930 designated a lectotype, but if Ogilby's account is not available then there is no lectotype. •See Triorus reipublicae Whitley 1930. •Possibly a synonym of Tetrosomus concatenatus (Bloch 1785) -- (Allen & Erdmann 2012:1085 [ref. 31980]). •Valid as Tetrosomus reipublicae (Ogilby 1913) -- (Larson et al. 2013:235 [ref. 32988], Matsuura 2014:17 [ref. 33576], Motomura et al. 2017:236 [ref. 35490], Hoschke et al. 2019:161 [ref. 36626], Heemstra 2022:452 [ref. 40260]).
