Abstract
Taxonomic revision of the family Dasyatidae was studied on the basis of the specimens collected from the Korean coasts from June 1994 to January 1996. The family Dasyatidae of Korea was classified into 6 species in genus Dasyatis, and the key to species was proposed with their synonyms and distributions. Three new records from Korea were described and figured in detail: Dasyatis acutirostra Nishida and Nakaya, D. matsubarai Miyosi and D. sinensis (Steindachner). Most species of the Korean stingrays are shared with those of China and Japan.
