Remarks. This species used to be considered as a forma of Liolophura japonica ( Leloup 1939; Van Belle 1980). But Saito & Yoshioka (1993) regarded it as a distinct species (see remarks of L. japonica ). Kaas et al. (2006) considered it also as a form of L. japonica . We follow here Saito & Yoshioka (1993).
