Syn.: Histiophorus audax Philippi, 1887, Istiophorus audax (Philippi, 1887), Kajikia formosana Hirasaka & Nakamura, 1947, Kajikia mitsukurii (Jordan & Snyder, 1901), Makaira audax (Philippi, 1887), Makaira audax zelandica Jordan & Evermann, 1926, Makaira formosana (Hirasaka & Nakamura, 1947), Makaira grammatica Jordan & Evermann, 1926, Makaira holei Jordan & Evermann, 1926, Makaira mitsukurii (Jordan & Snyder, 1901), Makaira tenuirostratus (Deraniyagala, 1951), Makaira zelandica Jordan & Evermann, 1926, Makairaf grammatica Jordan & Evermann, 1926, Marlina audax (Philippi, 1887), Marlina jauffreti Smith, 1956, Marlina mitsukurii (Jordan & Snyder, 1901), Marlina zelandica (Jordan & Evermann, 1926), Tetrapterus audax (Philippi, 1887), Tetrapturus acutirostratus Deraniyagala, 1951, Tetrapturus audax (Philippi, 1887), Tetrapturus ectenes Jordan & Evermann, 1926, Tetrapturus mitsukurii Jordan & Snyder, 1901, Tetrapturus tenuirostratus Deraniyagala, 1951 (Ahyong, et al., 2023). Note: Billfishes are genetically and morphologically so distinct from scombroids that they deserve to be classified in a separate suborder, Xiphioidei, although phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences show different relationships. There are two species groups within the current genus Tetrapturus. The Atlantic white marlin, T. albidus, closely related to the Indo-Pacific striped marlin, T. audax, which forms the genus Kajikia (Collette, et al. 2006).
