Inhabits the coasts of Japan. Shaw. 



Dr. Shaw says " This species seems to agree in every respect 

 with the Mytilus Rostrum, except that the valves shut very 

 exactly, without leaving any hiatus at either end of the shell. 

 It is a native of Japan, and is represented in some original 

 drawings of Camelli in the British Museum. I have also ob- 

 served this species in Chinese drawings."
