This is the first report of Champsodon longipinnis (Champsodontidae) collected from Korea. The specimen (100.9 mm in standard length) was caught by a bottom trawl in the coastal waters off Busan, Korea. This species is characterized by the following morphological traits: body with small denticulate scales except abdomen around pelvic fin base; posterior end of maxilla extending beyond margin of eye; dark pigmentation on most of the first dorsal fin, upper half of the first to the fourth soft ray of the second dorsal fin, and partial upper lobe of caudal fin. We add C. longipinnis to the Korean fish fauna and suggest a new Korean name, "Jeom-ak-eo-chi," for the species.

Four specimens of Megalaspis cordyla(Linnaeus) belonging to the family Carangidae and three specimens of Champsodon snyderi Franz belonging to the family Champsodontidae were collected for the first time from Nam-hae and Pusan, Korea. Megalaspis cordyla is similar to other genera, but differs in some morphological charac-ters : the presence of finlets, the beginning portion and shape of scutes, and the length of pec-toral fin. A new Korean name "Ko-d$\breve{u}$ng-ka-ra-ji" is proposed for the M. cordyla. Champsodon snyderi is differs from C. capensis in the number of pectoral fins and the pres-ence of scale on cheek ; from C. longipinnis in having a pale spinous dorsal fin ; from C. guen-theri and C. machaeratus in having 11 lower gill rakers, 19 soft dorsal fin rays. A new Korean name "Ak-$\hat{o}$-chi" is proposed for the C. snyderi.
