A new species of threadfin bream, Nemipterus elaine, from the Western Indian Ocean is described. The new species is known so far only from off the coast of southern Mozambique, and appears most closely related morphologically and genetically to N. randalli Russell, 1986, but differs in having shorter pectoral and pelvic fins, and the upper caudal lobe produced to form a short, bright yellow filament (a long red trailing filament present in N. randalli). A key to the species of Nemipterus in the Western Indian Ocean is provided.
一种新的金线鱼，即伊氏金线鱼，被描述于西印度洋。这种新的物种目前仅在莫桑比克南部沿海被发现，在形态和遗传上与 Russell, 1986 年描述的 N. randalli 最为接近，但它的胸鳍和腹鳍较短，上尾叶延长形成短而亮黄色的丝状突起（N. randalli 具有长的红色尾丝）。本文提供了西印度洋金线鱼属种的一个鉴别特征。
