Twenty five specimens (40.8~58.4 mm SL) of Gymnogobius taranetzi (Family Gobiidae) were collected from the estuary of Samcheok-si and Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea. This species is distinguished from other Gymnogobius species by oculoscapular canals not extending anteriorly through interorbital space, but replaced by rows of sensory papillae; oculoscapular canal pore C is absent; some yellow bands on body in female with breeding color. The new Korean name "Dong-hae-nal-mang-duk" is proposed for this species.
