Dear Koh,

This is a very interesting find. With the earlier record on the Forum from near Vladisvostok [#3533],  it certainly establishes the presence of this species in the western part of the East Sea [= Sea of Japan]. Considering the many studies that have been published from the region, it is surprising that there seems to be no records of this species, under any name, from the west coast of Japan

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
