The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization prefers the name flathead lobster, while the official Australian name is Bay lobster.〔 In Australia, it is more widely known as the Moreton Bay bug after Moreton Bay, near Brisbane, Queensland.〔 In Singapore, both the flathead lobster and true crayfish are called crayfish. They are used in many Singaporean dishes. The species is sometimes confused with the Balmain bug, ''Ibacus peronii'', but they can be distinguished by the placement of the eyes: the eyes of ''I. peronii'' are near the midline, while those of ''T. orientalis'' are at the margin of the carapace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Balmain Bug ''Ibacus peronii'' )〕
