Abstract

Three specimens of Moolgarda seheli were collected for the first time from the southern coastal waters of Jeju Island in October 2010. This species is characterized by scales with a flexible membranous edge, a distinctive dark dot on the upper axis of the pectoral fin base, 39 lateral line scales, and 24~25 vertebrae. The newly proposed Korean name of the genus Moolgarda is "Cho-seung-kkori-sung-eo-sok" and that of M. seheli is "Cho-seung-kko-ri-sung-eo".

2010년 10월, 제주도 남부연안에서 Moolgarda seheli 3개체가 처음 채집되었다. 본 종은 비늘 가장자리에 부드러운 막이 있고, 가슴지느러미 기저의 등쪽 기점에 뚜렷한 어두운 반점과 초승달 모양의 꼬리지느러미를 가지며, 측선비늘은 39개, 척추골은 24~25개를 가진다. 본 종의 국명으로 속명은 "초승꼬리숭어속"을 새롭게 제안하며, 종명은 "초승꼬리숭어"이다.
