Abstract

Three specimens (23.5~26.9 mm in SL) of Eviota (Gobiidae) were collected from about 13 m depth off Munseom, Jeju Island, Korea. They are identified as Eviota melasma by their having a conspicuous black spot on the occipital region of the head and no spots on the dorsal midline of the body. This represents a first record of the species from Korea and a northernmost occurrence of the species.

스쿠바다이빙에 의한 제주도 남부해역에 위치한 문섬 주변해역의 어류상을 조사하던 중 수심 약 13 m에서 망둑어과의 풀비늘망둑속 Eviota에 속하는 한국미기록종 어류 3개체를 채집하였다. 본 종은 후두부에 1쌍의 큰 흑점이 있고, 등쪽 정중선을 따라 흑점이 없는 점에서 E. melasma로 동정되었다. 제주도 문섬 주변해역에서의 출현은 지금까지 알려진 본 종의 최고 북방기록이며, 본 종의 국명은 '흑점풀비늘망둑'이라고 명명하였다.
