Abstract

A single specimen (506 mm SL) of Gempylus serpens, belonging to the family Gempylidae, order Perciformes, was firstly collected from Jeju Island, Korea in April 2013. This specimen was characterized by having the lower jaw protruded than upper jaw; three big fangs on upper jaw; five dorsal finlets and seven anal finlets; two lateral lines split at the dorsal origin, upper line interrupted at the end of the first dorsal fin, but lower line extend to the caudal fin base. The new Korean name "Se-jang-gal-chi-ggo-chi-sok" is proposed for the genus Gempylus, and "Se-jang-gal-chi-ggo-chi" for the species G. serpens.

농어목 갈치꼬치과에 속하는 Gempylus serpens 1개체가 2013년 4월 18일 제주도 동부지역에서 채집되었다. 본종은 아래턱이 위턱보다 돌출되어 있고 위턱에는 3개의 송곳니가 있으며, 등지느러미와 뒷지느러미 뒤에는 각각 5개 및 7개의 토막지느러미를 가지며, 측선은 첫번째 등지느러미 제1극조에서 2갈래로 갈라지는 특징을 가진다. 본 연구에서 본종의 새로운 속명 및 종명으로 "세장갈치꼬치속" 및 "세장갈치꼬치"를 제안한다.
