Abstract

Two specimens of Chelon macrolepis were collected from southern coastal waters of Jeju Island and Busan in February 2007 and October 2010, and it, herein, described as an unrecorded species from Korea. Chelon macrolepis is characterized by posterior tip of maxilla exposed when mouth closed, having 31~32 lateral line scales, and 23~24 vertebrae. The new Korean name is proposed as "Keun-bi-neul-sung-eo" for Chelon macrolepis.

2007년 2월과 2010년 10월 제주도 남부연안 및 부산에서 Chelon macrolepis 2개체가 채집되었기에 한국미기록종으로 보고한다. 본 종은 입을 닫았을 때 주상악골 뒤쪽 끝부분이 노출되며, 측선비늘은 31~32개, 척추골은 23~24개 가진다. Chelon macrolepis의 국명으로 "큰비늘숭어"를 제안한다.
