The large-headed whiting, ''Sillago megacephalus'', is a dubious species of coastal marine fish in the smelt-whiting family that has only been recorded from one specimen captured off the coast of China in 1933. Although very similar to ''Sillago sihama'', the species is characterised by an unusually large head which accounts for 33% of the total body length. ==Taxonomy and naming== The large-headed whiting is one of 29 species in the genus ''Sillago'', which is one of three divisions of the smelt whiting family Sillaginidae. The smelt-whitings are Perciformes in the suborder Percoidei. The only specimen of the species ever recorded was taken from Paoping Harbour in Hainan, China in 1933. Lin recorded the new species, designating the only sample to be the holotype of the species. In preparation of a 1985 review of the sillaginids, Roland McKay was unable to locate the holotype and has presumed it to be lost.〔 〕 McKay noted that based on its description, all features except an unusually large head where characteristic of the common species ''Sillago sihama'', suggesting the ''S. megacephalus'' is actually a junior synonym of ''S. sihama''. The common name of 'large-headed whiting' is a straight translation from its binomial name, signifying the diagnostic head length.〔
