Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross
Thalassarche chlororhynchos
The Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross is a large seabird in the albatross family. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. ''Thalassarche'' is from ''thalassa'', "sea" and ''arkhe'', "command", and ''chlororhynchos'' is from ''khloros'', "yellow", and ''rhunkhos'', "bill".
This small mollymawk was once considered conspecific with the Indian yellow-nosed albatross and known as the yellow-nosed albatross. Some authorities still consider these taxa to be conspecific, such as the Clements checklist and the SACC, which recognizes that a proposal is needed.
