The name Albula nemoptera (Fowler, 1911) is currently applied to the Shafted, or Threadfin, Bonefish (Albuliformes: Albulidae) inhabiting the tropical coastal waters of both the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific. In the present paper I provide a brief review of the taxonomy and nomenclature of A. nemoptera, and argue that the available morphological, biogeographical and molecular evidence supports resurrecting the name A. pacifica (Beebe, 1942) for the population ofA. nemoptera from the eastern Pacific.
学名Albula nemoptera（福勒，1911年）目前用于指生活在西大西洋和东太平洋热带沿海水域的轴鳍或丝鳍骨鱼（鲱形目：宝刀鱼科）。在本文中，我简要回顾了A. nemoptera的分类学和命名法，并认为现有的形态学、生物地理学和分子证据支持恢复使用A. pacifica（毕比，1942年）这一名称来指代东太平洋的A. nemoptera种群。
