Abstract

Two specimens of Asterorhombus intermedius (130.0~143.4 mm SL), belonging to the family Bothidae, were firstly collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. This species was characterized by having 54~56 lateral line scales, first dorsal-fin ray with a long projection, and various size of black spots on the body. The morphological characteristics matched well with previous description of A. intermedius. Therefore, we add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its Korean name, "Git-teol-dung-geul-neob-chi-sok" and "Git-teol-dung-geul-neob-chi" for the genus and species, respectively.

둥글넙치과에 속하는 Asterorhombus intermedius 2개체(표준체장 130.0~143.4 mm)가 제주도 서귀포시 안덕면 사계리 해역에서 처음으로 채집되었다. 이 종은 첫 번째 등지느러미 주위에 많은 돌기들이 산재하고, 몸과 지느러미에 크기가 다른 어두운 점들이 산재하고 있다. 이 미기록종의 속명과 국명은 각각 "깃털둥글넙치속"과 "깃털둥글넙치"로 제안하였다.
