Abstract

Seventeen specimens (29.1~50.7 mm SL) of the starry goby, Asterropteryx semipunctata, were collected from the southern coast of Jeju Island, Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The species is characterized by having separated pelvic fins, five to eight short spines on posterior margin of preopercle, and numerous blue spots on head, body and unpaired fins except for first dorsal when fresh. We proposed a new Korean name, 'Cheong-byeol-mang-duk', for the species.

제주도 남부 연안에서 망둑어과에 속하는 Asterropteryx semipunctata 17개체 (표준체장 29.1~50.7 mm)를 채집하였다. 본 종은 아직 국내에서는 보고되지 않은 한국미기록종으로, 배지느러미가 유합되지 않고, 전새개골 상후연에 5~8개의 거치가 있으며, 두부, 체측, 그리고 제1등지느러미를 제외한 홑지느러미에 청색 반점이 산재하는 특징에서 동속의 유사종과 구별된다. 본 종의 신한국명은 '청별망둑'이라 명명하였다.
