Two specimens (56.3~61.1 mm SL) of the serranid fish, Chelidoperca pleurospilus and 21 specimens (34.0~93.6 mm SL) of the pinguipedid fish, Parapercis muronis were collected around Jeju Island, southern Korea. C. pleurospilus is characterized by having five dark blotches along lateral line, truncated caudal fin, and scaleless interorbital space. P. muronis is characterized by having five oblique dark bands on body side, five spines on dorsal fin, and no notch between spinous and soft-rayed portions of dorsal fin. We describe these specimens as the first record from Korea, and propose the new Korean name, "Byeol-gak-si-dom" for the former and "Da-seosjul-yang-dong-mi-ri" for the latter.

Three species of the order Perciformes collected from coastal waters of Cheju Island, Korea were documented with photographs, all of which are newly known to Korea. Nemipterus bathybius Snyder, 1911 of the family Nemipteridae is distinguished by seven anal soft rays and the most upper ray at the caudal fin elongated. Cirrhitichthys aureus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1842) of the family Cirrhitidae (New Korean name: Hwangbokdom-kwa), is characterized by the five to six light black spots on the dorso-Iateral sides, 12 dorsal soft rays and a dorsal fin without spots and bands. Parapercis aurantiaca D$\ddot{o}$erlein, 1884 of the family Pinguipedidae, has several taxonomic characters. The dorsal spines and the soft rays of the dorsal fins were connected without a notch. The five to six dark yellow bands with the same size of eye length were shown on the lateral region. A new Korean name Kinsilkkoridom is proposed for the Nemipterus bathybius, and Cirrhitichthys aureus, Hwangbukdom, and Parapercis aurantiaca, Hwangssangdonggari.
