Abstract
The four specimens of Clariger cosmurus, belonging to the family gobiidae were collected from the southern costal region of Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The specimens are characterized by having two dorsal fins, a few barbels below the eye, and dark brownish line along lateral body from tip of snout to caudal peduncle. We propose a new Korean name of the genus Clariger, C. cosmurus as respectively Wae-mang-duk sok and Wae-mang-duk, for the species.
