Abstract
A bothid specimen (65.8 mm SL) collected from southern coastal waters of Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, is identified as Engyprosopon grandisquama. The specimen represents a new Korean record for the species. It is characterized by the presence of 6 gill rakers on the lower limb of the first arch, caudal fin with a pair of large jet-black blotches between the 3rd and 4th rays counted from the upper and lower margins, and body depth more than 50% of body length. A new Korean name "keun-bi-neul-neop-chi-sok" and "keun-bi-neul-neop-chi" is proposed for the genus and species, respectively.
