Abstract

This is the first report of Aprion virescens, belonging to the family Lutjanidae, collected in Korea. The specimen (151.4 mm in standard length) was caught by the gill net in the coastal waters of Jeju Island on 30 October, 2009. This species is characterized by having a deep vertical groove in front of eye, very short pectoral fin almost equal to snout length, and four black spots on dorsal fin. We propose a new Korean name, "Nok-saek-tung-dom-sok" and "Nok-saek-tung-dom" for the genus and species, respectively.

퉁돔과에 속하는 Aprion virescens 1개체(표준체장 151.4 mm)가 제주연안에서 자망으로 처음 채집되었다. 이 종은 눈 앞에 세로로 깊게 파인 홈이 있고, 가슴지느러미는 매우 짧아 주둥이 길이와 비슷하며 등지느러미에 선명한 4개의 점이 존재한다. 이 미기록종의 속명과 국명은 "녹색퉁돔속", "녹색퉁돔" 이라고 각각 제안하였다.
