Taxonomy

The genus Planiliza was resurrected for nearly all Indo-Pacific species assigned to Liza because DNA-based cladistic analyses recovered Liza as polyphyletic, with some species placed as sister to the Chelon type species and nearly all Indo-Pacific species to Planiliza.[1][2]

Species

The following species are classified under Planiliza by FishBase:[3]

In addition the following species are classified in this genus by some authorities:[4]
