Two species of the unrecorded congrid eel, Ariosoma major (Asano, 1958) and Rhynchoconger ectenurus (Jordan and Richardson, 1909) were collected for the first time from the Southern and Western Sea of Korea. A. major closely resembled A. shiroanago, but differed from the latter in having lesser number of lateral line pores before vent and vertebrae. R. ectenurus was very similar to R. brachuata, but differed from the latter in having slender tail and a great number of vertebrae. A key to the genera and species of the family Congridae from Korea was given. New Korean name "Kunhuin-bungchangeo" was proposed for the A. major, and "Gomunkkori-bungchangeo", R. ectenurus, respectively.

From the South Sea in 1995, two species, Chaunax abei and Bembrops curvatura, were collected for the first time in Korea. C. abei and B. curvatura were closely similar to C. fimbriatus and B. caudimacula in exomorphological characters, respectively. C. abei sharply differed from C. fimbriatus in having the round green spots, no fossa in front of dorsal fin and without tentacles around illicium groove. B. curvatura was well divided from B. caudimacula in having 15 anal fin rays, 41~50 lateral line scales, deep curved lateral line and black color on the first dorsal fin membrane. New Korean name "Jom-ssinbengi" was proposed for the Chaunax abei, and "Jool-gupun-noontungi", B. curvatura, respectively.

A specimen of Arnoglossus polyspilus (G$\ddot{u}$nther) (229.0 mm standard length) belonging to the family Bothidae, collect from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, represents the first record of the species from Korea. This species is characterized by having caudal fin with two simple rays on both upper and lower margins, several anterior dorsal fin rays somewhat elongated, upper jaw extending to below anterior 1/3 of lower eye, and one gill raker on the upper limb of the first gill arch. We add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name, "No-rang-ban-jeom-ga-ja-mi".

An yponomeutid species, Saridoscelis kodamai Moriuti, is recorded from Korea and mainland China for the first time. Saridoscelinae are first recorded in the Korean fauna. Photos of external and genital features are provided for S. kodamai. Occurrence of S. kodamai in Korea is discussed in relation with the flight time and the distribution of their host plants.

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.

A new marine interstitial nematode species belonging to the subgenus Quadricoma of order Desmoscolecida is described from Jindo Island, South Korea. The new species, Tricoma (Quadricoma) jindoensis sp. nov., is most allied with T. (Q.) crassicomoides Timm, 1970 in sharing the similar cephalic setae, broadly truncated border of head, lip region including 6 labial papillae, and slender and long spicule among the seven congeners with 44 quadricomoid rings. However, T. (Q.) jindoensis differs from it by the globular protuberance on the penultimate ring, 7 tail rings, and 9 pairs of subdorsal setae in male. This is the first record of Quadricoma nematodes from East Asia.

A single specimen of the genus Plectorhinchus (Family: Haemulidae) was collected from the coastal waters around Jejudo Island on November 1, 2017 by a longline. The specimen was identified as Plectorhinchus vittatus by the morphological characters as follows: eight black vertical stripes on the body, scattered polka dots on the dorsal, anal and caudal fins. It is clearly distinguished from the congeneric species, P. lineatus, which is morphologically very similar to P. vittatus, in the number of gill rakers, stripes on the abdomen, and black patterns on the base of the pelvic fin. In this study, the occurrence of this species has been newly revealed at higher latitudes, suggesting the expansion of the northern distribution limit. Following Lee et al. (1999), we propose its Korean name as "Chu-sa-eo-reum-dom".

This is the first report of Apogon erythrinus (Perciformes: Apogonidae) from Korea. A single specimen (33.6 mm SL) was collected by a fish pot from the coastal waters of Jeju-do Island on 28 October 2009. This species is characterized by having 5~6 predorsal scales, 7~9 developed gill rackers, end of second dorsal fin spine not reaching the middle of second dorsal fin base when depressed, and posterior margin of body scales reddish-brown. To confirm the correctness of species identification, the DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequence was obtained from the sample and compared with those of cardinalfish species recorded in the NCBI database. As a result, it was well-matched to A. erythrinus. We newly added this species to the Korean fish fauna and proposed a new Korean name, "Kueun-nun-eol-ge-bi-neul" because the eyes are large compared to its body.
