Abstract

A single specimen (220.4 mm SL) of the bandfish Acanthocepola indica was collected near Maemul Island, off southeastern Korea. This species is characterized by having a serrated posterior margin of preopercle and a black blotch on anterior part of dorsal fin. It differs from two other species, A. limbata and A. krusensternii, in having a deeper body, 88 dorsal fin rays, and 101 anal fin rays. Our specimen of A. indica is the first record of the species from Korea, for which we propose the new Korean name "Nam-bang-hong-gal-chi."

농어목 홍갈치과에 속하는 Acanthocepola indica 1개체(체장 220.4 mm)가 경남 거제도 남부 매물도 주변해역에서 채집되었다. 본종은 전새개골 후단에 거치 모양의 가시가 있고, 등지느러미 전방에 1개의 검은 반점을 가진다. 또한, 체고가 다소 높고 등지느러미 연조수가 88개, 뒷지느러미 연조수가 101개인 점에서 이미 알려진 먹점홍갈치(A. limbata)와 점줄홍갈치(A. krusensternii)와 잘 구분된다. 본종은 국내에서 처음으로 보고되는 종으로서, 신한국명을 "남방홍갈치"로 제안한다.
