Depth 10 to 133^ to end of caudal ; head 4 to 4% ; disk length 1 to 

 11/5 in its width; tail 11/3 to II/2 in disk length. Snout II/2 to 1% 

 in head, forms narrow triangular point in front; eye 4i^ to 5%, 2% 

 to 3% in snout, 2i^ to 2% in interorbital ; dentary width 2l^ to 3i/i 

 in head; teeth in 28 to 30 rows in jaws, each with rather narrow 

 triangular cusp; upper lip with fringed edge, lower with rather 

 large pleats ; nostrils small, internarial width II/3 in dentary ; inter- 

 orbital 114 to 1% in head. Gill openings small, equidistant, last 

 shortest. Spiracles quite large, deep, wide, equal about 1% eye 

 diameters. 



Skin smooth. Caudal spine 124 to 2% in head. 



No dorsal or anal ; caudal moderately deep and rounded, its great- 

 est expansion about equals spiracle; pectorals form partly quadran- 

 gular disk, broadly rounded; ventrals broad, obtuse; claspers flat- 

 tened though robust, compressed, about half head length. 



Back and above uniform brown. Below whitish, outer edges of 

 disk broadly brownish. 



Japan, Korea. I follow McCuUoch's suggestion in placing Urolo- 

 phus fuscus Garman as a synonym of the present species.
