Abstract
Two specimens of Antennarius pictus, belonging to the family Antennariidae, were collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. They were characterized by having 7 anal fin rays, 10 pectoral fin rays, 12 dorsal fin rays, 9 caudal fin rays, and second spine of dorsal fin diminishing and curved backwards distally. Since this species has various sizes of round black spots on head, body and fins, we propose a new Korean fish name "Heuk-jum-bak-ssin-beng-i" for A. pictus.
