Abstract

The Japanese blacktail triplefin, Springerichthys bapturus, is redescribed based on three specimens (36.6~55.4 mm SL) from Soheuksan and Jeju Islands. This is the first reliable record of the species from Korea. The specimens are characterized by having 26~28 second dorsal spines, 22~26 anal soft rays, 27~30 anterior lateral line scales, and intensive coloration of head and tail.
