  • The Yellow-dotted butterflyfish, Chaetodon selene is newly reported from Korea based on a single juvenile specimen (28.6 mm SL) collected from rocky reef of the Jwasarido Island, southern Korea. The present specimen represents the first reliable record of C. selene from Korea supported by a voucher specimen. The specimen is characterized by having 12 spines of dorsal fin, and a dark lunate-shaped marking on posterior half of body as well as a vertical black bar crossing eye. A new Korean name, "No-rang-jeom-na-bi-go-gi", is adopted for the species.
