Capoeta limbata Schlegel, Fauna Japonica, Poiss., 1846, p. 203, pl. C, Fig. 5; near Nagasaki. 
Achilognathus limbatus Giinther, Cat. Fishes, VII, 1868, p. 277; from one of Schlegel’s types. 
Acheilognathus shimasui Tanaka, Ann. Zoél. Jap., VII, Part 1, 1908, p. 3; Tokiwa, on Lake Biwa. 
Among the specimens recorded as Acheilognathus lanceolatus from Funayado, 
Kiusiu, Japan, by Jordan and Fowler, is a third species, evidently identical with

The following description is based upon a specimen 56 mm. in total length, 
44 mm. in body-length, and five smaller males and females, the smallest 34 mm. in
