A single specimen of a carangid fish, Alepes kleinii (125.1mm in standard length), was collected by a small set net at depths shallower than 8m off the northeastern Kadogawa Bay, Kadogawa-cho, Miyazaki Prefecture, Pacific coast of Kyushu Island, Japan. Alepes kleinii is distinguishable from its congeners by the following combination of characters: two rows of small conical teeth arranged irregularly in a narrow band on upper jaw but those on lower jaw in a single series, a diffuse dusky blotch present on upper margin of opercle, and straight part of lateral line starting behind below origin of second dorsal fin. The specimen represents the reliable record of the species from Japan.
