Abstract

A single specimen of Synodus fuscus belonging to the genus Synodus in family Synodontidae was firstly collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. We newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name, "Mo-rae-kkot-dong-myeol". This species was characterized by having no conspicuous pigmented area on operculum. The dorsal fin base is shorter than 1/2 of the head length. The morphological measurements and counts of Synodus fuscus were described in detail and a key to species of the genus Synodus from Korea provided in this study.

홍매치목 매퉁이과의 꽃동멸속에 포함되는 Synodus fuscus 1개체가 제주도에서 채집되어, 한국산 미기록종으로 기재하고 국명은 '모래꽃동멸'로 명명하였다. 모래꽃동멸은 측선 상부 비늘 수가 3.5개, 하부 비늘 수는 5개로 꽃동멸 속의 다른 종과 구분된다. 또한 아가미 뚜껑 가장자리에 검은 점무늬가 없고, 등지느러미 기저장이 두장의 1/2보다 짧은 반면, 이와 유사종인 주홍꽃동멸은 아가미 뚜껑 가장자리에 검은 점무늬가 있고, 등지느러미 기저장이 두장의 1/2보다 길어서 두 종이 잘 구분된다. 본 연구에서는 모래꽃동멸의 계수계측치와 함께 한국산 꽃동멸속 어류의 종 검색표를 제시하였다.
