Abstract

The four specimens of Clariger cosmurus, belonging to the family gobiidae were collected from the southern costal region of Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The specimens are characterized by having two dorsal fins, a few barbels below the eye, and dark brownish line along lateral body from tip of snout to caudal peduncle. We propose a new Korean name of the genus Clariger, C. cosmurus as respectively Wae-mang-duk sok and Wae-mang-duk, for the species.

망둑어과에 속하는 Clariger cosmurus 4개체의 표본들을 국내의 남해안에서 채집하였고, 한국의 미기록종으로 기재한다. 본종은 2개의 등지느러미, 눈 아래의 6개의 수염이 있고, 주둥이 끝에서부터 미병부까지 몸의 측면을 따라 어두운 갈색 줄무늬를 가지는 것이 특징이다. 본 연구에서 우리는 본 속과, 종의 국명을 각각 왜망둑속, 왜망둑으로 제안한다.
