Abstract

Two specimens of Upeneus tragula were firstly collected from Jeju Island, Korea. This species is characterized by having pectoral fin rays 13, lateral line 29, first gill rackers 5+14, both lobes of caudal fin with dark bands, ventral part of body with numerous blackish-brown dots, and upper part of first and second dorsal fin dark brown. It is easily distinguished from three other Korean Upeneus species in having both lobes of caudal fin with dark bands (vs. no band in U. sulphureus; only upper lobe with dark bands in both U. moluccensis and U. japonicus). We suggest the new Korean name "Keom-eun-jul-chok-su" for this species.

촉수과에 속하는 Upeneus tragula 2개체가 제주도에서 채집되어 한국 미기록종으로 기재한다. 이종은 가슴지느러미 연조 수 13개, 측선 비늘 수 29개, 새파수 19개를 갖고 있다. 그리고, 첫 번째와 두 번째 등지느러미에 다소 불규칙한 무늬가 있으며 몸의 측면에는 작은 크기의 점들이 비교적 넓게 분포하였고, 특히 꼬리지느러미의 상엽과 하엽에 여러 개의 짙은 줄무늬가 뚜렷하게 존재하여 우리나라에 현재 보고된 Upeneus속 3종과 형태적으로 쉽게 구분된다. 따라서, 이 종의 새로운 국명은 "검은줄촉수"로 제안한다.
