Abstract

The spadenose shark, Scoliodon laticaudus, belongs to the family carcharhinidae was described as the first record from Korea based on a single specimen collected from the South Sea of Korea. The species is characterized by having a greatly depressed and trowel-shaped head, a depressed and long snout, triangular pectoral fins, and posterior tip of the first dorsal fin reaching the middle of pelvic fin. We propose a new Korean names of the genus Scoliodon and the species S. laticaudus as "Nab-jag-ju-dung-i-sang-eo sog" and "Nab-jag-ju-dung-i-sang-eo", respectively.

우리나라 남부연안에서 채집된 1개체 (전장 350.0 mm)의 표본을 근거로 흉상어과에 속하는 Scoliodon laticaudus를 한국미기록종으로 기재 보고한다. 본 종은 머리가 매우 납작한 삽모양이며 주둥이가 길고 납작한 점 가슴지느러미가 삼각형이며 제 1 등지느러미 후단이 배지느러미 중앙부분까지 도달하는 특징이 있다. 본 속과 종의 신한국명으로 각각 "납작주둥이상어속"과 "납작주둥이상어"를 제안한다.
