Abstract

The skeletal system of freshwater goby Micropercops swinhonis from Korea is figured and described in detail. The osteological characteristics of the species are as follows: infraorbital bearing a subocular shelf present; mesopterygoid present and separated from metapterygoid; scapula forked and dorsal postcleithrum present; and caudal skeleton and first dorsal pterygiophore formula highly variable.

전북 부안군 청호저수지산 좀구굴치의 전골격계를 기재하고 도시하였다. 본종은 안하골에 안하골상이 있는 점, 내익상골이 후익상골로부터 분리하는 점, 견갑골이 이차상이고 상후의쇄골이 있는 점 등의 골학적인 특징을 보인다. 한편, 미골격과 등지느러미 담기골식에서는 많은 변이가 관찰되었다.
