Habitat: Shimo-Tamusui River near Ako; Tozen River; Wodensho, 

 Taichu; Daito River; Tamusui River; Shori, Toyen; Hyoko and Maru- 

 yama, Giran. 



Remarks: In the year 1903, Jordan and Evermann described the 

 present species from Kotosho and Taihoku under the name Cleno- 

 gohiiis platycephalus (Richardson), though there were some doubts 

 with reference to its identity. In Jordan and Richardson's paper, 

 however, the name has been changed to Rhinogohins giiirinus (Rutter). 



The present species is very closely allied to Rhinogobius hadropterus^^ 



from Japan. But it differs in having a greater number of scales in the 



lateral series.
