Abstract
Fifteen gobids specimens first collected from the southern coastal waters of Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, were identified as the Suruga fundicola from Korea. The species, representing a new Korean record, is characterized by having VII-I, 16~17 dorsal fin rays, I, 15~16 anal fin rays, 37~42 lateral line scales, notably large eye and narrow interorbital space, scaleless cheek and opercle, no babel, teeth rather strong, and 6~7 dusky spots on sides. A new Korean name, "Keun-nun-mangduk-sok" and "Keun-nun-mang-duk" is proposed for the genus and species, respectively.
