A large specimen agrees with the scanty account of Tetraodon basilewskianus and differs from the closely related Japanese species Spheroides alboplumbeus in the total absence of white spots. It may be provisionally accepted as a valid species. The following description is from two examples 10 inches long, taken at Chinnampo, Korea: D. 13; A. 13; head 3; depth 3; eye 8; snout ; interorbital 2; least depth of caudal peduncle in head; width of body in length. Back and belly with small, stout prickles; caudal truncate; no lateral body fold; body rather stout, elongate, greatest depth through gill-opening; ventral outline very convex, dorsal less so; head broad; snout blunt; interorbital area slightly convex, broad; caudal peduncle depressed, tapering, semi-conical; nostrils papilliform, elevated, as near tip of snout as eye; eye small, elevated, entirely above level of pectoral base; gill-openings vertical, equal to pectoral base, inner flap evident; mouth terminal, broad, teeth large, cutting edges concave; anterior portion of teeth slightly produced, bluntly pointed. Dorsal high, fifth ray longest, in head; posterior rays gradually short- ened to near last, then abruptly shortened; distance from insertion of dorsal to tip of snout two and one-half times that from base of caudal, the latter equal-.
