Abstract
Seventeen specimens (29.1~50.7 mm SL) of the starry goby, Asterropteryx semipunctata, were collected from the southern coast of Jeju Island, Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The species is characterized by having separated pelvic fins, five to eight short spines on posterior margin of preopercle, and numerous blue spots on head, body and unpaired fins except for first dorsal when fresh. We proposed a new Korean name, 'Cheong-byeol-mang-duk', for the species.
