We have already recorded this species from Japan, referred it to 
its proper position, and given measurements, in hundredths of length, 
of both the Japanese and the three Philippine specimens. 
(proximus, from its supposed close relationship with Coryphae- 
noides nasutus.)

These four specimens are probably the young of Z. spinosus, de- 
scribed originally from Japan. The head is proportionally longer 
and the body deeper than in the larger Japanese type; the difference 
is wider than that which usually results from age-variation, and it is 
quite possible that two species are represented. The differences, how- 
ever, may to a certain extent be more apparent than real, as the 
larger measurements of the Philippine specimens may result from 
the smaller base of measurements (length to anus) due to the position 
of the anus.
