Glaucus atlanticus is the "English version"...it is the scientific name of what some people call a sea swallow. Every organism has a scientific name, but not all organisms have common names. Examples:

Homo sapiens = human
Pan troglodytes = chimpanzee
Panthera leo = lion
Corvus brachyrhynchos = crow
Eunectes murinus = green anaconda
Cocos nucifera = coconut palm
Tyrannosaurus rex (none)
Anomalocaris canadensis (none)

Scientific names are universal -- the same in any language. Common names are different in every language. By convention, scientific names must always appear in a different typeface than the surrounding text -- usually this means they're written in italics (unless, of course, all the surrounding text is already in italics).
