In April 2019, a single Peristediidae juvenile (14.1 mm SL) was collected from the waters off of Jeju-do Island, Korea. DNA barcoding identified the juvenile as Peristedion liorhynchus, an unrecorded species in Korea. P. liorhynchus has eight dorsal fin spines, 22 dorsal and 19 anal fin rays, and a long third pectoral fin ray that passes through the middle of the tail at the juvenile stage. Juvenile also have large heads, extensive head spination, and serrated edges on the ocular and parietal spines. This is the first record of P. liorhynchus in Korea; therefore, we propose the new Korean name, "Nam-bang-hwang-seong-dae".

A single specimen (244.2 mm in standard length) of Satyrichthys welchi was collected from Pohang in the southern East Sea of Korea in March 2021. This species is characterized by the following morphological combination: 4 lip barbels, 3 chin barbels, antrose spines on upper lateral low of posterior bony plate and equal parietal bones. S. welchi was morphologically similar to its congeneric species, S. laticeps, but is clearly distinguished in presence of dusky black spots on dorsal fin (present in S. welchi vs. absent in S. laticeps). We propose a new Korean name "Gi-JeomByeol-Seong-Dae" for the species S. welchi.
