The introduction of T. amurensis into the Korean fauna is based 

 upon a specimen (No. 21185, U.S.N.M., figs. 213-216) collected by

 particular, except one, with the various descriptions of T. amurensis,

 each side; dorsal scales in 8 rows, the median ones but slightly smaller 

 than the others; the toes are shorter, the fourth toe from base of
