Abstract

A single specimen (59.3 mm in SL) of the family Gobiesocidae was collected from the northern coast of Jeju Island, Korea. It was identified as Lepadichthys frenatus by its having dorsal and anal fins with 17 and 13 rays, respectively, both fins connected to the caudal fin, and a reddish-brown body color. We describe the specimen as the first record from Korea, and propose a new Korean name "keun-ip-hak-chi" for the species.
