Abstract
A single specimen of Caranx melampygus (113 mm standard length), belonging to the family Carangidae, was firstly collected by a set net from the coastal waters of Jejudo Island, Korea. This species is morphologically similar to C. sexfasciatus except for the posterior end of maxilla not reaching the posterior margin of eye (vs. reaching in C. sexfasciatus) and no black blotch on the upper part of opercle (vs. black blotch). We newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name "Jag-eun-ip-jul-jeon-gaeng-i" for the species because it has relatively smaller upper jaw when compared with C. sexfasciatus.
