Abstract
Two specimens of Upeneus tragula were firstly collected from Jeju Island, Korea. This species is characterized by having pectoral fin rays 13, lateral line 29, first gill rackers 5+14, both lobes of caudal fin with dark bands, ventral part of body with numerous blackish-brown dots, and upper part of first and second dorsal fin dark brown. It is easily distinguished from three other Korean Upeneus species in having both lobes of caudal fin with dark bands (vs. no band in U. sulphureus; only upper lobe with dark bands in both U. moluccensis and U. japonicus). We suggest the new Korean name "Keom-eun-jul-chok-su" for this species.
