  • A single specimen of the family Agonidae was collected from the coastal waters of the East Sea, Korea. It was identified as Hypsagonus corniger Taranetz by having the first dorsal fin with seven spines, long supraoccipital spine, sharp spines of body plate, no process on the supralateral bony plates, the broader distance between the first and the second dorsal fins than base of the second dorsal fin, and longer second spine of the first dorsal fin than the first spine. A key to the genus Hypsagonus from Korea is provided. We propose a new Korean name, "Ga-si-jul-go-gi" for the species.
