In a recent revision of the Balanidae based on morphological systematics, the much studied fouling species Balanus amphitrite was renamed Amphibalanus amphitrite. Here, the case is made for retaining the former nomenclature. Taxonomists are urged to exercise caution before introducing new formal taxonomies, which should ideally be based on several independent lines of evidence.
在最近基于形态系统学对藤壶科进行的修订中，被广泛研究的污损物种纹藤壶（Balanus amphitrite）被重新命名为纹胸藤壶（Amphibalanus amphitrite）。在此，我们主张保留原来的命名法。我们敦促分类学家在引入新的正式分类法之前要谨慎行事，理想情况下，新分类法应基于多条独立的证据线索。
