JORDAN AND METZ: FISHES KNOWN FROM THE WATERS OF KOREA 23 



Described from six specimens, the type 4 inches, the rest 2.5 to 4 inches in 

 total length, from Chinnampo, Korea. The type is number 4563 in the Catalog 

 of the Carnegie Museum; a cotype is in the collection of Stanford University. 



The genus, Psevdaspms, is visibly distinguished from other Korean min- 

 nows by the very small scales. It resembles the American genus Rhmichthys, 

 but has no barbels. 



Pseudaspius bergi is a strongly marked species, well separated from Pseud- 

 aspius leptocephalus (Pallas) from the Amur River. It is named for Dr. Leo S. 

 Berg of the Museum at St. Petersburg, in recognition of his admirable "Ich- 

 thyologia Amurensis."

Type No. 4561, 2 inches; cotypes No. 4562. Chinnampo, Korea. 



D. 9; A. 9; scales in lateral line about 82; head in length 3.5; depth 4.5; 

 eye in head 3.66; snout 3.5; maxillary 3.25; interorbital 3.33; depth of caudal 

 peduncle 3. Pharyngeal teeth two-rowed, 5, 2, 2, 5; lateral Hne decurved, 

 rather below median line of side, less curved than ventral outline; body elon- 

 gate, compressed, moderately deep, deepest in front of ventrals; caudal peduncle 

 compressed, slender; head broad, depressed, flattened above; snout rather acute; 

 mouth terminal, oblique; cleft reaching front of eye; no barbels; eye large, 

 elevated; nostrils close together, posterior, quite large, close to eye. 



Dorsal short, high, anterior, inserted nearer tip of snout than base of caudal 

 by a distance equal to two-fifths of head; longest ray 1.33 in head; caudal 

 rather shallowly emarginate; pectorals low, short, 1.66 in head, not reaching 

 ventrals, which are inserted one-third of their length before dorsal, and are 

 short, barely reaching anal; anal short, high, inserted under next to last dorsal 

 ray; scales rather small, cycloid, most distinct on sides. 



Color in spirits dusky above; median line of back dark; a dark median 

 line on sides posteriorly, becoming broader and less distinct in pectoral region; 

 under parts and fins pale. 



Described from ten specimens, the type two inches in total length taken 

 at Chinnampo, Korea. The type is No. 4561 in the Catalog of the Carnegie 

 Museum. 



This species is easily distinguished from Pseudaspius bergi by its deeper 

 body, slenderer caudal peduncle, fewer scales, etc.
