Popis: Abstract Psenes arafurensis, belonging to the family Nomeidae, is described based on four specimens (184.8–199.0 mm in standard length) collected from Korea. The species is most similar to the congeneric species P. maculatus and P. pellucidus, but differs from them in the number of lateral–line scales. (44–47 in P. arafurensis vs 67–70 in P. maculatus and 120 in P. pellucidus) and the number of vertebrae (31 in P. arafurensis vs 34–38 in P. maculatus and 40–42 in P. pellucidus). The present study is a new record of P. arafurensis with voucher specimens from Korean waters.
