Abstract

A single specimen of Bathygobius cotticeps (41.0 mm SL) was collected from the rocky pools of intertidal zone of Jeju-do Island, Korea. This species is characterized by having VI-I, 9 dorsal fin rays, I, 8 anal fin rays, scales on cheek and opercle, 23 predorsal scales, 38 longitudinal scales, 24 pectoral fins, 7 free rays on upper pectoral fin, each divided to 5-7 branches, cephalic sensory canal pores H and K fused, and the middle of pelvic frenum curved inwards smoothly. We propose a new Korean name, "Bi-neulmu-nui-mang-duk" for the B. cotticeps based on the presence of scales on the cheek.
