ABSTRACT

A single specimen belonging to the genus Monocentris, family Monocentridae was collected from Jeju-do Island on September 17, 2011. The specimen was identified as Monocentris chrysadamas based on the following morphological traits: No vomerine teeth; 12-15 lateral line scales, and no small scales below the base of the pectoral fin. Molecular analysis based on 517 base pairs of mitochondrial DNA COI sequences showed that this species matched to M. chrysadamas. We propose the new Korean name of M. chrysadamas as "Nam-bang-cheol-gap-dung-eo".
