A malformation of the anal fin in longfin trevally, Carangoides armatus, is described and compared with normal specimens. The fish specimen is clearly shown anal fin deformity with missing of 3 spines and 6 rays. The remaining eleven anal fin rays are shorter than those in the normal specimen. The causative factors of this anomaly were discussed.

A single specimen of Carangoides hedlandensis was collected from a set net installed at 25 m depth near Sangju Beach, Namhae, Gyeoksangnamdo, Korea. The morphology of the species was similar to that of C. armatus. Carangoides hedlandensis and C. armatus can be clearly distinguished by the number of gillrakers on the first arch: C. hedlandensis has 20-28 gillrakers whereas C. armatus has 30-39. Unlike other species, interorbital region of the head in C. hedlandensis is bumped. We suggest that C. hedlandensis should be added to lists of Korean fish fauna, and propose a Korean name, "Hokjeon-gaeng-i" for this species.
