A single specimen (40.5 mm in SL) of Clariger chionomaculatus was collected at 4 m depth on mud bottom from off Geojedo Island, Korea. This species is characterized by having an elongated body without scales, several barbels below eyes, I, 12~15 second dorsal fin rays, I, 12~14 anal fin rays; 19~20 pectoral fin rays with one free soft ray on upper part, and a unique color pattern with numerous white blotches on dorsal part of body. Because it has been known from Japan only to date, we describe in detail C. chionomaculatus as the first record from Korea. A new Korean name, "Huin-jeom-wae-mang-dug", is proposed for the species.

The four specimens of Clariger cosmurus, belonging to the family gobiidae were collected from the southern costal region of Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The specimens are characterized by having two dorsal fins, a few barbels below the eye, and dark brownish line along lateral body from tip of snout to caudal peduncle. We propose a new Korean name of the genus Clariger, C. cosmurus as respectively Wae-mang-duk sok and Wae-mang-duk, for the species.
