Abstract

To verify the validity of Hemiculter eigenmanni (Jordan and Metz, 1913), we conducted morphological analysis on two syntypes of Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855) and holotype of H. eigenmanni. Although some morphological differences were recognized between two nominal type specimens, it is concluded intraspecific or geographic variation through comparison with many specimens collected from Korea. Previously suggested synonymy between H. leucisculus and H. eigenmanni was reconfirmed, therefore the latter becomes a junior synonym of the former.

Hemiculter eigenmanni (Jordan and Metz, 1913)의 유효성을 알아보기 위하여, Hemiculter leucisculus (Basilewsky, 1855)의 총모식 표본 2개체, H. eigenmanni (Jordan and Metz, 1913)의 완모식 표본에 대해 형태학적 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 이들 2종의 일부 형태학적 차이점들은 한국에서 채집된 다수의 비교 표본들을 통하여 종내의 변이임이 밝혀졌고, H. eigenmanni는 H. leucisculus의 신참 동종이명으로 확인되었다.
