Abstract

Three specimens of a small sculpin, Icelinus japonicus, were collected from the midwestern coastal waters of the Korean Peninsula firstly. The species is characterized by having two ctenoid scale rows extending posterior end of the second dorsal fin along the dorso-lateral surface of the body, pelvic fin with a spine and two soft rays, and teeth on vomer and palatines. A new Korean name, "Du-jul-bil-neul-hoes-dae", is proposed for the species.

충청남도 태안연안 암반조간대에서 채집된 3개체(체장 30.0~33.8 mm)를 근거로 둑중개과 한국미기록종인 Icelinus japonicus를 기재 보고한다. 본 종은 등지느러미 하방에 2열의 즐린이 있고, 배지느러미가 1극조 2연조로 이루어져 있으며 서골과 구개골에 이빨이 있는 특징이 있다. 신한국명으로 '두줄비늘횟대'를 제안한다.
