Abstract
A single bothid specimen (113.9 mm in standard length) was collected by bottom trawl from southern Jejudo Island, Korea. It was easily identified as Kamoharaia megastoma (Kamohara, 1936), based on extremely large mouth. The species is characterized by maxillary extending beyond eyes, three pairs of long curved canines on lower jaw, tip of vomer projecting into mouth cavity, blackish pectoral fin, and blind side without lateral line. We described it as the first record to Korean fish fauna, and proposed the new Korean name, "Keun-ip-dung-geul-neop-chi" for this species.
