Abstract

Four specimens (114.2~134.2 mm SL) of Icelus stenosomus Andriashev, family Cottidae, were collected from Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, East Sea of Korea. They were identified based on the following characters : a pair of strong spines on occipital region, distinct row of scales on both dorsal and ventral sides of body, vermiculate white lines on dorsal side of body, and small prickled scales scattered sparsely on the head. We propose a new Korean name for the species as a new Korean name : 'Mu-nui-jul-ga-si-hoet-dae'.

우리나라의 강원도 동해 주변해역에서 둑중개과 Icelus속에 속하는 한국미기록종 어류 4개체(표준체장 114.2~134.2 mm)를 채집하였다. 본 종은 후두부에 한 쌍의 강한 가시와 몸의 등쪽과 배쪽에 구별되는 비늘 열을 가지고 있고, 체측에 흰색의 벌레먹은 무늬가 나타나며, 두부 뒤쪽에 작은 비늘이 산재하는 특징을 보였다. 이러한 특징을 바탕으로 이 종을 Icelus stenosomus Andriashev로 동정하였으며 국명을 '무늬줄가시횟대'라고 명명하였다.
