superbus=maenificent. : 
The types of this and the preceding species were brought into 
Singapore by a cable-repair ship, presumably from somewhere in 
the vicinity; but it 1s quite possible that they may have been 
obtained at some distance from that port. This species, at least, 
is abundant off southwestern Japan; and, in view of the fact 
that some important cables pass under the sea at this point, it 1s 
not improbable that the first specimen was obtamed somewhere 
in this region.
