Abstract
Five specimens of Lethotremus awae (Cyclopteridae) were collected from the northern coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea, during a survey on larval and juvenile fishes flocking to aquatic lamp in 2004 ~ 2007. They were characterized by having a spherical body with three barbel-like tubes on head and the first dorsal fin overgrown by skin with undiscernible rays as well as VIII-9 dorsal fin rays, 8 ~ 9 anal fin rays and 22 ~ 23 pectoral fin rays. A new Korean name, "Eom-ji-do-chi", was proposed for the species.
