158 medicinal animal species are mentioned in seven pharmacopoeias of Korea (including North Korea), China (including Taiwan), and Japan. However, there are many cases where the scientific names are written incorrectly. Some of them are misspelled, or did not conform to recommendations of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. In this review, the correct scientific names were presented. When describing animal-based medicinal materials, these correct scientific names should be used.
