No problem. I found it on the the Japanese Wiki page
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%AE%E3%81%A3%E3%81%BA%E3%82%89%E3%81%BC%E3%81%86
It is the last creature mentioned: 尻目（しりめ） phonetically pronounced shi-ri-me
尻 is the kanji for 'rear'(shiri)
目is the kanji for 'eye' (me)
Here is a picture drawn by poet Buson:
