Abstract
Three specimens (23.5~26.9 mm in SL) of Eviota (Gobiidae) were collected from about 13 m depth off Munseom, Jeju Island, Korea. They are identified as Eviota melasma by their having a conspicuous black spot on the occipital region of the head and no spots on the dorsal midline of the body. This represents a first record of the species from Korea and a northernmost occurrence of the species.
