History. This species was first described in 1907 from a single specimen dredged 

 by the Albatross in the Korean Straits in 1906. 



In 1909 the present author recorded three specimens from two localities in the 

 Korean Straits, where they had been dredged by Danish cable repair ships under the 

 command of Captain Suensson, and in 1913 he recorded five more from near Hongkong, 

 received from the same source. 



In 1927 Dr. Torsten Gislen recorded and gave notes upon three specimens which 

 had been collected by Dr. Th. Mortensen in southern and southwestern Japan.
