Abstract

Taractichthys steindachneri is described based on two specimens (224.7~406.5 mm SL) collected from the south sea including the adjacent water of Jeju Island, representing a reliable first record from Korea. The species is characterized by having well-separated each pelvic fin, semicircular groove on dorsal surface of caudal peduncle, well-elongated dorsal and anal fin rays, nearly uniformly blackish body color with white margined caudal fin.

과거 우리나라 남해에 출현하는 것으로 알려졌던 농어목 새다래과의 한국미기록종 흰꼬리타락치(Taractichthys steindachneri)에 대해 제주도를 포함한 남해에서 채집된 2개체(표준체장 224.7~406.5 mm)의 표본을 근거로 형태적 특징을 상세히 기재하였다. 본 종은 양측 배지느러미가 서로 멀리 떨어져 위치하는 점, 미병부 배측에 반월상의 홈이 있는 점, 등지느러미와 뒷지느러미가 길게 신장하는 점, 그리고 체색이 전체적으로 검고 꼬리지느러미 후연이 백색인 점이 특징이다.
