Abstract

A single specimen of the stone cockscomb, Alectrias alectrolophus (Pallas, 1811) was collected from off Gangneung-si, East Sea, Korea. The present Korean specimen is characterized in having a dermal crest on dorsal median line of head, LXIII dorsal fin rays, I, 44 anal fin rays, 68 vertebrae, slender and flexible dorsal spines in its anterior parts, and scales on the posterior portion of body, and fused gill membranes forming a free fold across the isthmus. We report A. alectrolophus based on a single specimen collected from the Korean water as the first record from Korea.

우리나라 강릉 연안에서 채집된 벼슬베도라치속 어류 1개체(체장 52.2 mm SL)의 표본을 근거로 Alectrias alectrolophus를 한국미기록종으로 기재하였다. 본 종은 등지느러미 기조수 LXIII, 뒷지느러미 기조수 I, 44, 척추골수 68이고, 가늘고 긴 체형을 가진다는 점에서 동속의 다른 종과 쉽게 구별된다. 본 종의 신한국명으로 "가는벼슬베도라치"를 제안한다.
