This description from a specimen from Luke Yogo in Mino, :il)ove 

 iLake Biwa. 



Fresh waters of central and southern .Japan, very abundant. We 

 I have a very numerous series from Lake Biwa at Matsubara and Kara- 

 jsaki, from the river at Tsuchiura, the Iwai River at Ichinoseki, from 

 near Nagoya, and the Kitakami River at Morioka. 



It is the only species of the group common in northern Japan. Jt 

 is known by its more elongate form, as contrasted with Pdniclic'do- 

 gnathns rhoiiJmi, though with a similar color pattern, with the addition 

 of a black abdomen, and dark pectorals, and ventrals, in some adults. 



The dorsal radii are fewer than those of P. /7/(y//?/>rt< and the pharvn- 

 geal teeth are smooth.
