The question then arises whether in reality T. wolteri is distinct from T. amurensis. The material is as yet too scant (3 specimens in British Museum, viz, the type from Chemulpo, one specimen from Kiukiang, China, and one from an unknown locality; Guenther, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.

A detailed description seems superfluous after the above remarks. Habitat.— T. amurensis has been recorded so far only from the Amur district. In addition to the speciijiens from Kossakewitcha.
