Abstract

A single bothid specimen (113.9 mm in standard length) was collected by bottom trawl from southern Jejudo Island, Korea. It was easily identified as Kamoharaia megastoma (Kamohara, 1936), based on extremely large mouth. The species is characterized by maxillary extending beyond eyes, three pairs of long curved canines on lower jaw, tip of vomer projecting into mouth cavity, blackish pectoral fin, and blind side without lateral line. We described it as the first record to Korean fish fauna, and proposed the new Korean name, "Keun-ip-dung-geul-neop-chi" for this species.

가자미목 둥글넙치과에 속하는 1개체(표준체장 113.9 mm)가 제주도 남방 해역에서 저층트롤로 채집되었다. 매우 큰 입을 가지는 본 종은 주상악골의 후단이 눈보다 후방에 위치, 아래턱 전단에는 돌출된 3쌍의 날카로운 송곳니, 구강으로 돌출된 서골 말단부, 검은 가슴지느러미 그리고 무안측에 측선이 없는 특징들로 Kamoharaia megastoma와 잘 일치한다. 따라서 이종은 한국 미기록종으로 국명은 "큰입둥글넙치"로 제안한다.
