This is the first report of Scomberoides lysan (Perciformes: Carangidae) from Korea. Two specimens (334 and 354 mm standard length) were collected by a set net from the coastal waters of Jejudo Island on 30 September, 2010. This species is characterized and distinguishable from a morphologically similar Scomberoides tol as follows. It has the posterior end of maxilla reaching to the posterior margin of eye (vs. not reaching in S. tol) and two rows of 5~8 small blotches on both sides of body (vs. one row of blotches). We add S. lysan to the Korean fish fauna and propose a new Korean name, "Du-jeom-jul-ga-si-jeon-gaeng-i" for the species because it has two series of dusk blotches on both sides of body.

1993년 4월 부산시 부산 공동어시장에서 채집된 전갱이과 어류 1개체가 등지느러미와 뒷지느러미에 1개의 작은 토막지느러미가 있는 점에서 전갱이아과 Caranginae에 속하는 종으로, 가라지속 Decapterus의 한국 미기록종인 홍기가라지(국명신칭) Decapterus tabl로 동정되었기에 이를 기재하였다. 본종은 상대적으로 측선이 완만한 경사를 이루고, 측선의 경사 부위에 모비늘이 없으며, 측선 모비늘수가 34-48개이고, 두정부의 비늘은 안구의 중앙 뒤쪽까지 분포하고 있다. 또한 복추골에 2개의 측돌기공 및 꼬리지느러미가 적색인점 등이 동일 속의 다른 종들과 잘 구분된다.

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.

A single specimen of Carangoides oblongus (133.8 mm SL) belonging to the family Carangidae was firstly collected by a set net from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. This species resembles Carangoides dinema, but the former is morphologically distinguishable from the latter by lateral line being shorter than straight part, the number of lateral line scutes (37~45 in C. oblongus vs. 20~30 in C. dinema), second dorsal fin rays (20~22 vs. 17~19), and anal fin rays (18~19 vs. 15~17). We newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name "Chae-jjik-yu-jeon-gaeng-i".

Two specimens of the carangid fish Decapterus akaadsi Abe were collected for the first time in Busan, Korea. It is differentiated from the other three species of Decapterus by the number of rays in the dorsal and anal fins, gill rakers, scutes, and extent of predorsal scale. These specimens represent the first record of Decapterus akaadsi from Korea. A new Korean name 'Bulkeon karagi' is proposed for this species.

The fish species Uraspis helvola and U. uraspis (family Carangidae, Perciformes) were collected from Korea, and described and compared based on morphological and molecular characters. Uraspis helvola and U. uraspis were clearly distinguished by differences in the beginning point of the straight lateral lines scales (dorsal fin soft rays 12th~13th in U. helvola vs. 15th~16th in U. uraspis), and in the naked area on the breast extends to the pectoral fin base (naked area half way in U. helvola vs. naked area widely connected in U. uraspis). Molecular analysis using 530 base-pairs of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene strongly supported the morphological identification. We described it as the new Korean record, and proposed the new Korean name "min-jeon-gaeng-i-sok" for the genus Uraspis, and "heuk-gi-min-jeon-gaeng-i" for the species U. uraspis.

A specimen of carangid fish, Seriola rivoliana Valenciennes belonging to the family Carangidae was collected for the first time in Pusan, Korea. It was similar to Seriola dumerili (Risso) by appearance, but differed in some morphological characters having the deeper body, the higher lobes of the second dorsal and anal fins, becoming straight line below 23-24th ray of second dorsal fin, the configuration of the first haemal spine. A new Korean name "Nat Jaetbang-eo" is proposed for this species.

A single specimen of Pseudocaranx dentex (115.8 mm in standard length), belonging to the family Carangidae, was firstly collected by a set net in the coastal waters of Jeju Island on July 14, 2014. This species was characterized by a yellow stripe presented along both sides, a single series of canine teeth arranged on jaws, a black spot on upper margin of opercle, and snout length longer than eye diameter. We newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its Korean name "Heuk-jeom-jul-jeon-gaeng-i-sok" and "Heuk-jeom-jul-jeon-gaeng-i" for the genus and species, respectively.

Four specimens of Megalaspis cordyla(Linnaeus) belonging to the family Carangidae and three specimens of Champsodon snyderi Franz belonging to the family Champsodontidae were collected for the first time from Nam-hae and Pusan, Korea. Megalaspis cordyla is similar to other genera, but differs in some morphological charac-ters : the presence of finlets, the beginning portion and shape of scutes, and the length of pec-toral fin. A new Korean name "Ko-d$\breve{u}$ng-ka-ra-ji" is proposed for the M. cordyla. Champsodon snyderi is differs from C. capensis in the number of pectoral fins and the pres-ence of scale on cheek ; from C. longipinnis in having a pale spinous dorsal fin ; from C. guen-theri and C. machaeratus in having 11 lower gill rakers, 19 soft dorsal fin rays. A new Korean name "Ak-$\hat{o}$-chi" is proposed for the C. snyderi.
