Remarks. This is one of the commoner species in the Pliocene of Japan. Its taxonomic status once was in confusion since Kuwano (1950) described E. miurensis in the same year as Uchio erected P. japonicus . The date of issue of Uchio’s paper is June 30th, 1950, that of Kuwano’s is September 20th, 1950. These dates appear on the back cover print of each journal. However, what is confusing is that both journals indicate the month of publication to be “ June 1950 ” on the front page. Consequently, the issue date is the single key to decide priority based on the date of publication, even though the description by Uchio (1950) is incomplete in lacking description of type horizon, decision, and repository of type specimens. Kuwano (1950) did provide a systematic description and a fine drawing of specimens. Uchio published an additional description of P. japonicus in 1951.

Occurrence. Common in all the formations of the present study.
