Abstract

Based on three scorpionfish specimens (131.8~163.4 mm SL) collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, we described Scorpaenopsis neglecta as the first record from Korea. They were characterized by having 12 dorsal fin spines, lacking of palatal teeth and of black pigment between the first and third dorsal fin spines, wider interorbital region than orbital diameter, no median interorbital ridge, uppermost opercular spine with multicusps, and a broad blackish band distally and numerous various sized black spots on inner side of pectoral fin. We proposed a new Korean name, "Ssol-chi-u-reug" for the species.

제주도 연안 해역에서 채집된 쏨뱅이목 양볼락과 (Scorpaenidae) 쑥감펭속 (Scorpaenopsis)에 속하는 연안성 해산어류 3개체 (표준체장 131.8~163.4 mm)에 근거해 Scopaenopsis neglecta를 한국미기록종으로 보고한다. 이들은 등지느러미 극조수가 12개인 점, 구개골치가 없는 점, 등지느러미 첫 번째와 세 번째 극조 사이에 흑색 반점이 없는 점, 그리고 두부가 측편하는 점에서 쑥감펭속의 특징을 잘 나타내고 있다. 또한 양안간격이 안경보다 넓고, 양안 중앙융기연이 없으며, 최상부 새개골극이 다분지하고, 가슴지느러미 내측 기부에 흑색 반점이 산재하고, 지느러미 가장자리에 검은 띠가 있는 특징에서 동속 타종과 구별된다. 본 종의 신한국명으로 산지인 서귀포어시장에서 불리는 방언인 '쏠치우럭'을 제안한다.
