Abstract

A single specimen of Ariosoma meeki, belonging to the family Congridae, was collected for the first time from Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea, on June 10, 2015. Ariosoma meeki is characterized by an absence of scales on its whole body, dorsal and anal fin connected to the caudal fin, blackish margins of the dorsal and anal fin, posterior nostrils not covered with a dermal flap, 60 preanal lateral-line pores, 15 pectoral fin rays, no cephalic sensory pore between the interorbital region and dorsal fin origin, and two dark brown dots behind the eyes. We described it as the new Korean record, and proposed the Korean name "nun-te-bung-jang-eo" for this species A. meeki.

뱀장어목 붕장어과에 속하는 Ariosoma meeki 1개체 (전장 485.2 mm)가 2015년 6월 경상남도 창원시에서 처음으로 채집되었다. 본 종은 몸 전체에 비늘이 없고, 등지느러미와 뒷지느러미가 꼬리지느러미와 연결되어 있으며, 후비공이 피판으로 덮여 있고, 60개의 항문 전 측선공 및 15개의 가슴지느러미 연조를 가지며, 두부에 감각공이 없고, 눈 뒤쪽에 2개의 검은 점을 가진다. 한국에서 새롭게 보고되는 A. meeki의 국명으로 "눈테붕장어"를 제안한다.
