This is also a species peculiar to Japan and appears to be quite 

 local in its occurrence, not being found in the southern provinces. It is 

 commonly known as haruzemi or m r rfswnuslii; the former name on 

 account of its early appearance, and the latter on account of its always 

 living on pine trees. Its coloration much resembles pine bark, and its 

 cry is often heard near dwellings, but it is very difficult to see. 

 It comes out in spring and its nearly monotonous sound of jiwa-jiwa 

 .may be heard from a good distance off.
